DEADLINE: February 15, 2010 (Submission) Architizer.com announces an entirely new kind of architectural award that chooses its winner from the losing competition entries of 2009. Every year architects submit thousands of projects to competitions without receiving recognition or compensation for their work; this award is a do-over. Entries are easily uploaded to Architizer for consideration and there is no fee for submission. Entrants are only required to include three images, a text description, and credit for the entire team. Competition Competition 2010 is open to everyone who did not win a first prize. Submissions will be evaluated solely on their architectural merit, not on the criteria of the original competition for which they were created.
