From that list, the "building of the year" is determined.
The 2015 festival features 338 finalists, but we're looking at the seven in the religious category, which is especially noteworthy since last year's big award went to a simple community chapel.
The festival and awards announcement will take place in November at the luxurious Marina Bay Sands hotel in Singapore.
