Beautifying Transportation Infrastructure Challenge<\/a>
Registration\/Submission Deadline: Wednesday, May 13, 2026<\/p>\n

“The U.S. Department of Transportation\u2019s Beautifying Transportation Infrastructure Challenge invites participants to develop visual and conceptual proposals that reimagine transportation infrastructure as both functional public works and meaningful civic landmarks. The competition is looking for ideas that integrate beauty, public experience, regional character, and American architectural heritage into infrastructure such as bridges and overpasses, transit and mobility hubs, corridors and streetscapes, gateways and entries, plazas and transportation-connected public spaces, rural transportation features, and intermodal connections.”<\/p>\n

AR House awards 2026
<\/a>Registration\/Submission Deadline: Friday, July 3, 2026<\/p>\n

“Launched in 2010, the AR House awards recognise originality and excellence in the design of dwellings. The house is a key rite of passage for architects, critical to the ferment and crystallisation of new ideas, offering the potential for innovation. The awards recognise projects built in the last five years that demonstrate creativity, originality and ideas that push the house forward \u2013 whatever the scale or construction cost. The judges\u2019 chosen projects will all be visited by an independent critic and photographer before a decision is made on the winner.”<\/p>\n
