The African Drawing Awards 2026 is not just a competition, it is a stage where a single drawing can speak louder than words. From hand-drawn sketches on tracing paper to digital renderings and experimental collages, this is where lines become architecture and architecture becomes vision.

​

This year, the continent’s boldest talents gather under one banner (students, professionals, dreamers) all daring to capture Africa’s architectural spirit in one image. Expect raw craft, radical thinking, and drawings that reimagine what architecture can be.
