In Azure Magazine's annual AZ Awards, architects, designers, manufacturers, and students across the globe have a shot at getting their best work internationally recognized.

Now in its sixth edition, the AZ Awards competition continues to grow. This year's call for submissions reeled in 826 entries from 52 countries. After sifting through the submissions, the five-member jury picked 66 finalists. In the meantime, the public is invited to participate in the 2016 People's Choice, where people can vote for their favorite projects in all 18 categories now until May 6.

Then on June 17, the winners, People's Choice, and finalists will be celebrated during the AZ Awards Gala in Toronto's Evergreen Brick Works.
