Architectural Award of the Mayor of the City of Warsaw. New edition launched

You can now submit your favourite buildings, places and events that should win the Architecture Award of the Mayor of the City of Warsaw. Anyone can submit entries. The proposals will then be assessed by the organisers, who will announce the buildings nominated for the award. The competition is open to projects completed in 2024. The Architectural Award will be granted in several categories, and the winners will be announced in June.

Each of the past editions of the competition has been an opportunity to discuss what 21st century Warsaw should look like and how architecture affects the quality of life in our city. That is why, as a local government, we focus on creating places that are comfortable, accessible and friendly to all residents. We also do not forget about climate challenges, which is why we pay special attention to architectural projects that combine exceptional architecture with good ecological solutions. I am curious to see what entries will be submitted for judging in this year’s competition. We look forward to receiving your proposals! – emphasises Rafał Trzaskowski, Mayor of Warsaw.

Residents of the capital can already submit their favourite buildings, public spaces, events or publications about architecture.

I am very happy that together we can choose places or events where we feel good on a daily basis and want to return there. Importantly, the competition also allows investors, design teams, event organisers and publishers to show off their achievements and projects, ” says Renata Kaznowska, deputy mayor of the capital city of Warsaw

One of the winners will be chosen by the city’s inhabitants – in the form of a plebiscite planned for late April and early May. The winners will be announced in June.
