<p style="font-weight: normal; font-size: 16px; color: #bd0245">Deadline: 24 October 2008
Projects shortlisted for the 1st Cycle are being voted by our Honorary Members. The results will be announced on 20 September 2008.
All projects submitted after 25 July 2008 will be evaluated for the 2nd Cycle.</p>
<p>The aim of the WA Community Awards is to highlight and publish remarkable projects that might otherwise remain unnoticed by the international public but have the potential to inspire exciting questions about contemporary architectural discourse.</p>
<p><b><span style="color: #993366"><span><span><span><span style="font-weight: bold">What is distinctive about WA Awards</span></span></span></span></span></b></p>
<p>WA is an “online community” initiated by Suha Özkan and <b>200+ invited Honorary Members</b>, and a growing number of registered members (2500 in August).</p>
<p>Awarding follows a most <b>democratic</b> procedure where all member’s ratings and the votes of all Honorary Members are effective in the final decisions.
Registrations are <b>completely FREE</b> so that all architects can participate both as candidates and judges.</p>
<p>
<b><span style="color: #993366"><span style="font-weight: bold">Eligibility:</span></span></b></p>
<p>Architects from ALL countries can submit ALL of their buildings <b>(realized or not)</b> for the appreciation of the WA Community. Recent projects (not older than 10 years) will have more chances to be shortlisted for the Awards. <b>Students, landscape architects, engineers</b> may also submit for the awards projects they are the author of: we do not check or accredit diplomas.
Projects submitted to the WA Portal between 25 July -24 October 2008 will be considered for the 2nd Cycle. <b>All projects submitted earlier can be reconsidered if their pages are updated with significant new material by their architects</b>.</p>
<p>
<b><span style="color: #993366"><span style="font-weight: bold">Criteria for Recognition:</span></span></b></p>
<p>NOVELTY; ORIGINALITY, and CREATIVITY in design that reflect and inspire a commitment to the art of architecture are the major criteria. The WA Portal tries to bridge the gap between theory and practice: thus the architect’s explanations and member’s discussions on submissions will be critical for recognition as much as the design itself.</p>
<p><b><span style="color: #993366"><span style="font-weight: bold">Timetable:</span></span></b></p>
<p>Deadline for submissions to be evaluated for the 2nd Cycle is <b>October 24, 2008.</b> Please note that early submissions will have more chances to be recognized and move higher in the ranks before the Final Assessment Panel.
In November the shortlisted projects will be online for all members to examine and discuss.
The Panel will complete the voting process, and announce the selected projects during December 2008.
At this last stage, the <b>“Most Mind-provoking +X”</b> projects also will be determined by examining the discussions posted to the pages of the projects.</p>

<p>Registration to the WA Portal www.worldarchitecture.org is totally free. Registrants are expected to create their ARCHITECT / OFFICE PAGES (from MY PAGE section) and subsequently many BUILDING PAGES representing their work. <b>For each building 9 images can be uploaded, at least one of them should be an architectural drawing.</b>
