Epistle announces the second edition of the Epistle Writing Prize, following its launch in 2024. The prize is an annual competition dedicated to recognising outstanding writing on design, architecture and environment. Celebrating the power of the written word, participants are invited to inform, intrigue or persuade readers by presenting novel arguments or interesting narratives on the built environment. Stemming from Epistle’s mission to democratise architectural discourse, the prize seeks to highlight compelling voices and stories from the Global South, bringing attention to previously unheard perspectives.
Brief for Participants:
What does the world need to hear about architecture, design, and urbanism today?
This is your opportunity to use your voice to shed light on a contemporary issue or tell an interesting tale about the built environment. Use the power of words in any form—from prose to poetry, to narrative or expository writing.
