Best use of Colour

The Best use of Colour prize celebrates the creative use of colour in architecture, both inside and out. 

About the Prize

WAF's special prizes are awarded to projects who enter into the main WAF awards. Entrants do not have to pay any additional fees to be considered for the prizes. 

All finalists will go on to compete at the live-judging at WAF in Miami, each prize will have a panel of three expert judges. The overall winner for each prize will then be revealed at the Gala Dinner on the final day.
