The shortest and most accurate way to answer this is: judges will judge what you submit. :) Architecture (meaning the way you've designed your application, etc.) will not be judged. However, if you've built a framework such as a media framework, game library, or something similar, then you can and should mention that in your documentation. The judges will be able to understand that you've built a library, but they'll judge it based on the demo(s) you provide.
