The GSD is pleased to announce the 2025 cycle of the Wheelwright Prize, an open international competition that awards $100,000 to a talented early-career architect to support new forms of architectural research.

The deadline for submissions is 11:59pm EST on Sunday, February 9, 2025.

The prize is open to emerging architects practicing anywhere in the world. The primary eligibility requirement is that applicants must have received a degree from a professionally accredited architecture program in the past 15 years (graduating in 2010 or after).

The winning architect is expected to dedicate roughly two years of concentrated research related to their proposal, and to present a lecture on their findings at the conclusion of that research.

The GSD awarded the 2024 Wheelwright Prize to Thandi Loewenson @thandiloewenson for her proposal, Black Papers: Beyond the Politics of Land, Towards African Policies of Earth & Air. Through her research, Loewenson engages a dynamic terrain of social and spatial relations in contemporary Africa.

Applications are accepted online only, via the Wheelwright Prize website (wheelwrightprize.org).
