W Awards 2027

In partnership with both The Architectural Review and the Architects’ Journal , the W Awards, celebrate exemplary work by women and non-binary people, from lifetimes of achievement to the work of those with bright futures ahead, from the design of the world’s most significant new buildings to contributions to wider architectural culture conversations, and will continue to celebrate the exceptional work of people who are systemically undervalued by the society in which we live.

‘The W Awards are so special in that they recognise the overlooked and the unseen’

Natasha Huq, MJ Long Prize winner 2026

‘Being shortlisted for the W Awards was an unexpected highlight of 2025, giving me a chance to reflect on my role within the collective enterprise of the project I was nominated for and architectural practice more widely. I have been glad for the many opportunities the shortlisting afforded me,  strengthening existing bonds and making new connections’
