PAST AWARD WINNERS

 

SEVEN YEARS OF CREATIVE EXCELLENCE + INSPIRATION

Since launching in 2019, the Drawing of the Year Awards have become the ultimate accolade in visual representation and image creation spanning across architecture, design, arts and the built environment

Each year the Awards have recognised a vast array of drawing types, styles and functions from first sketches to highly resolved technical creations and atmospheric visualisations. Celebrating both traditional and emerging methods of image-making, the Awards champion the diversity of what a drawing can be, the innovation behind how images are created, and the depth of creativity demonstrated by practitioners around the world

The growing archive of recognised works are an exemplar inspiration resource displaying the highest quality and most diverse collection of visual representations within the built environment

 
 
 

GLOBAL AWARD SERIES

Over the past seven years, the Awards have attracted thousands of submissions from more than 100 countries worldwide, recognising outstanding talents from dozens of countries across six continents

This global reach is reflected in the rich diversity of cultural perspectives, artistic approaches, and creative influences shaping the visual works, underpinning the Awards’ role as an international platform for inspiration and excellence
