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.

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.
