Our projects range from design charrettes and workshops to large-scale public realm installations. Many of the installations are temporary so you can also read about the afterlife of these projects which go on to be re-homed or recycled. 

Use the filters below to browse our competitions by category. You can sort by theme (e.g. urban greening, public art, wayfinding projects) or by competition type (e.g. temporary, permanent). 

If you’re interested in reading more about running or entering one of our design competitions visit our About LFA Competitions or Why Enter? pages.
