Architects are increasingly aware that their best hope for a successful project stems from collaboration with the makers of high quality building products, those that have an intimate knowledge of materials and the fabrication processes behind them.<\/p>\n<p>For this reason, Architizer\u2019s A+Product Awards program acts as a creative benchmark for the industry. Each winning product earns a professional stamp of quality, and provides the world\u2019s most innovative brands with the recognition their hard work deserves. Ultimately, architects know these are products and brands they can trust \u2014 and the class of 2021 will provide further inspiration to help them create better, more resilient buildings for generations to come.<\/p>\n<p>If you are part of the team that creates, makes, designs or manufacturers building products, architectural materials, lighting or furniture, there&#8217;s still time to enter this year&#8217;s program. Submit your products for the A+Product Awards before August 13th, 2021 for a shot at global recognition, and a marketing package for your brand worth $20,000.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a
