We’ve documented some of the many reasons why you’d be crazy not to apply: amazing media exposure, getting your work seen by the industry’s leading developers and clients, and big-name partners Wall Street Journal, GOOD, Huffington Post, and Cool Hunting.

But just in case you need more convincing … our illustrious jury includes renowned curators from the world’s top art, design, and architectural institutions. We’re talking NYC’s Museum of Modern Art, the Philip Johnson Glass House, and the Guggenheim. Seriously. Click through to see the amazing cultural leaders who will be evaluating your work!
