Starting last year, there has been a Zombie Safe House Competition every year. (Well, granted it’s only two years old, but it sounds better that way.) Architects Southwest received entries from all over, with a number of homes and fortresses designed to defend against the undead (or at least keep the occupants inside unharmed). Among the awards to be won are the Gold Shovel Award, Silver Shovel Award, Post Apocalyptic Pritzker, Best Bug In Award, and Bloody Bludgeon Award.

As the competition says, “In a zombie apocalypse, a widespread (usually global) rise of zombies hostile to human life engages in a general assault on civilization. Victims of zombies may become zombies themselves. This causes the outbreak to become an exponentially growing crisis; the spreading zombie plague/virus swamps normal military and law enforcement organizations, leading to the panicked collapse of civilian society until only isolated pockets of survivors remain, scavenging for food and supplies in a world reduced to a pre-industrial hostile wilderness.”

Seems fair enough to us. Some of these structures and safe-houses are pretty cool. Check ’em out. You can also watch for updates on the Zombie Safe House Competition Facebook page.
