Our team has worked with data scientists, mathematicians and programmers to develop a reliable, fair and innovative voting system. The winner selection is happening in multiple stages, online, through our custom made voting system.

Initial Review
After the entry deadline has passed, before the judging process begins all entries are reviewed to make sure they are finalised, and correctly uploaded.

Official Selection
The first stage, known as the AMP Official Selection is where our editors together with a group of expert jurors select a longlist, known as the AMP Official Selection. This selection includes all qualified entries and they are then taken to the second stage of the judging process.

Winners Selection
For the second stage, a random set of entries are assigned to the jurors based on their expertise. Jurors score projects based on design excellence (including aesthetics, environmental, cultural and contextual considerations) and the overall originality of the project – including new, innovative technologies or creative solutions used. The projects’ practicality, and fulfilment of functional requirements, sustainability practices and overall environmental considerations of the project are taken into consideration during the judging process.

Best of Best Selection
The third stage is where the highest scored entries are selected across all categories, these receive the Best of Best title.

Architects / Designers Of the Year Selection
The Best of Best entries are again revised by the jury who select their top three favorite projects to be nominated for the Design of the Year. The entry that receives the highest number of nominations in each main category (architectural, interior, and landscape design) will be awarded as the Design of the Year and receive the AMP trophy.

All successful entrants will receive the Winner’s logo, and are entitled to use it for commercial purposes to promote their winnings. Receiving the MasterPrize award is not only a significant achievement in architecture, but also a unique opportunity for winners to receive promotional materials to publicize their achievements and gain exposure for their firm and projects worldwide.
