Studio Wignall & Moore is thrilled to announce the 2026 launch of their competition to seek out the most innovative client briefs and architectural proposals which enhance, showcase and celebrate culture outside the capital.
We are offering the chance to win a design concept worth up to £12,000. In short, the team will act as your advisors to develop your design and bring tangible detail to your plans.
A jury of prominent industry voices will select the winning brief from a short list of the most exciting entries, and critically, use their expertise to offer suggestions on how each project can be developed.
Whether you’re an organisation looking to renew your design vision, a custodian of a cherished heritage asset in need of restoration, or an arts organization poised to make a significant impact, we want to hear about your project.
"We were delighted to have benefited from the support of Wignall & Moore, for what has led to a radical and appropriate vision for our historic site. The resulting vision has been met with national attention, a consensus of enthusiastic support and we look forward to making it into a reality."
