The Architecture MasterPrize (AMP) begins with an initial review of all entries after the submission deadline. Editors ensure that entries are finalized, photos are properly uploaded, and all requirements are met. Following this, the AMP Official Selection is chosen by a panel of expert jurors and editors.

In the next stage, entries are evaluated based on design excellence, including aesthetics, environmental considerations, cultural relevance, and originality. Sub-category winners are selected based on practicality, fulfillment of functional requirements, sustainability practices, and overall environmental considerations.

The highest-scoring entries across all categories receive the prestigious “Best of Best” title. From these, the jury selects their top three favorites, which become nominees for the coveted “Design of the Year” award. The entry with the most nominations in each main category is honored as the “Design of the Year” and awarded the AMP trophy.
