World Architecture Festival 2023 is Now Open for Entries

World’s largest architectural competition of its kind reopens its doors to built and future projects; shortlisted entrants get the chance to present their work live in Singapore

Words Gabrielle de la Cruz and World Architecture Festival 2023

After a successful, post-pandemic onsite celebration in Lisbon, Portugal in 2022, the annual World Architecture Festival (WAF) is back in Singapore this 2023! Together with its sister festival, INSIDE Festival of Interiors, WAF is set to happen at the Suntec Singapore Convention & Exhibition Centre in Singapore, Singapore on 29 November to 1 December. 

WAF and INSIDE are open to all architects and designers across the world. With WAF as the largest global live awards event for architects and designers, participating practices and designers get the opportunity to gain global recognition and expand their network. Shortlisted participants are given a chance to present their project live, with some of the biggest names in architecture as both their jury and audience. 

Winners of both festivals will also be included in the World Buildings Directory, an online database consisting of WAF submissions. All winning entries will permanently be listed with full project descriptions and images.

Now in its 16th year, WAF offers an £80 early bird discount for entries submitted on or before 24 March. Practices and designers with three or more entries can also save 15% by entering the promo code “MULTI23.”
