Expanding the Award Scope:
Product Design Group
This year, the AHA introduces a new group dedicated to Product Design, expanding the recognition of creativity beyond buildings.
In 2025, AHA breaks new ground by introducing a new group dedicated to Product Design, expanding its recognition of creativity beyond architecture. The new Product Design categories include Furniture Design, Lighting Product Design, Bathroom & Wellness Product Design, Urban Product Design, and Small Object Design - each celebrating how design enhances daily life.
The new category ensures that design excellence is recognized across multiple disciplines, reinforcing AHA as a comprehensive design award.

Social Impact: A Greater Commitment to Positive Change
Continuing its social responsibility initiative, AHA will once again donate 5% of all entry fees to Construíde, a Brazilian non-profit organization dedicated to providing housing for vulnerable families.
However, for 2025, a new "Social Architecture" category has been introduced, where 100% of the entry fees will be donated to Construíde. This category is open to projects that prioritize social impact, accessibility, and community well-being, including housing, healthcare facilities, community centers, educational spaces, and public shelters.

A New Opportunity for Emerging and Established Firms
Two new special categories have been introduced to recognize architecture firms at different stages of their journey:
Best New Arch Firm: Celebrating emerging firms founded between 2018-2025, this category highlights studios making a significant impact through creativity and innovation.
Firm of the Year: Honoring an established practice for its outstanding contributions to architecture. This category is jury-nominated, with the final winner decided via popular vote.

Empowering Future Architects: Free Student Entries
In 2025, AHA is making an unprecedented move - the Student Category will be 100% free throughout the entire award period, ensuring that emerging talent can participate without financial barriers. This initiative aims to support and encourage the next generation of architects and designers.
