6th Year of the Czech Architecture Award - Application Submission

The Czech Chamber of Architects has announced the 6th year of the Czech Architecture Award. The competition showcase is open to architectural realizations built on the territory of the Czech Republic in the last five years. Architects can submit their works until April 19, 2021. Traditionally, the credit of the Czech Architecture Award is supported by a prestigious seven-member international jury. The significance of the Czech Architecture Award lies, among other things, in year-round and regional promotion of architecture. Registration will again take place in the form of an online form and is not associated with any costs for the participating architects. The results will be announced at a festive gala evening, which will take place in November 2021. The general partner of the showcase remains the CENTRAL GROUP company for the third consecutive year.

The results will be decided by an international expert jury, which will select a narrower range of nominated works by the end of May 2021. From this number, approximately 5 to 10 works will be awarded the honorary title of Czech Architecture Award Finalist, from which the main prize winner will be chosen. An additional award for exceptional achievement will also be granted, selected by the Academy and the Committee of the Czech Architecture Award, as well as partner awards, whose laureates are proposed by the award partners.
