The AR EmergingAwards, previously known as the AR Emerging Architecture Awards, ^[1] is an annual international prize that "grants early recognition to young designers and celebrates the architectural stars of tomorrow." ^[2]

Founded in 1999 by the British architectural magazine The Architectural Review, the award includes a £5,000 prize and features the winner in the pages of the printed magazine. ^{[2] [3]}

History

Launched in 1999, the AR Emerging Architecture awards—as it was originally named—was established "in response to the heavy-hitting Gold Medals, Pritzkers, and other lifetime achievement awards." ^[3]

Architects and professionals in other design disciplines whose qualifications are recognized by their local accreditation bodies are eligible to apply, provided they are 45 years old or younger in the year of submission. ^[4]

Originally, completed work such as "buildings, interiors, landscaping, refurbishment, urban projects, temporary installations, furniture and product designs" were all eligible for submission. ^[5] Since 2020, however, the award has shifted to recognize a trajectory portfolio, emphasizing a body of work rather than a single project. ^[6]
