The gala
The winners are revealed at the AZ Awards Gala on Friday, June 21.The gala has become the must-attend industry event of the season. Over 500 top architects, designers and related professionals meet and mingle with the finalists, who have travelled to Toronto from as far away as Japan, India, Austria and Brazil to join in the festivities. The gala also welcomes an annual international guest of honour; last year’s was Winy Maas, co-founder of the Dutch architecture firm MVRDV.

The trophy
Winners take home the AZ Awards trophy, a limited-edition sculpture reimagined each year by an exciting designer – in past years, Michael Anastassiades, Philippe Malouin and Omer Arbel have designed trophies for the AZ Awards.
