Architecture Competitions: Global Challenges Curated Daily

Explore one of the world’s most trusted directories of architecture competitions, where architects, designers, and students from all backgrounds discover curated global opportunities to showcase their creative visions. At ArchUp, we update competitions daily — featuring calls for entries in sustainable architecture, urban design, digital innovation, and more — while maintaining clear access to briefs, eligibility, deadlines, and evaluation criteria.

Beyond open calls, we also document outcomes. Our Competition Results archive tracks winners, shortlists, and jury decisions — so you can study not only which competitions are running, but which approaches actually succeed and why.

This section connects you with today’s leading architectural projects, material-driven design trends in building materials, and timely architecture news across practice, education, and industry. You can also follow events and research insights to deepen your strategic approach to competition work.

ArchUp emphasizes fairness and editorial independence by offering a Competition Transparency resource — built to foster a more ethical and accountable ecosystem where participants share real experiences of the competitions they entered. Whether you’re a studio principal, emerging talent, or academic researcher, our open-access model empowers you to engage fully and globally.
