The Holcim Awards is an international competition for projects that embody approaches to meet the present-day needs for housing and infrastructure without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs in times to come.

The competition celebrates innovative, future-oriented and tangible sustainable construction projects from around the global and provides prize money of USD 2 million per three-year competition cycle.

The main category of the competition is open to architects, planners, engineers, project owners, builders and construction firms that showcase sustainable responses to technological, environmental, socioeconomic and cultural issues with contemporary building and construction.

Projects are eligible for the competition if they have reached an advanced stage of design.

In addition, the Holcim Awards seeks visions and ideas for the “Next Generation” category, open to student projects created within university programs at final year bachelor level or above (including master’s and PhD).

Deadline for entries is March 23, 2011.
