The 3rd Cycle Celebrating Projects that advance sustainable development
Date: 21 August 2025
The UIA 2030 Award is back for its third cycle!
Launched in partnership with UN-Habitat and the UIA - International Union of Architects, the award celebrates built projects that show how architecture can drive progress on the Sustainable Development Goals—from clean water and decent work to housing, climate action, and public space.
Architects worldwide are invited to submit completed and occupied projects (1–5 years old) that demonstrate:
• Design excellence
• Measurable SDG impact
• Holistic and inclusive approaches across the project lifecycle
Entries will be judged across six categories linked to SDGs 6, 8, 11, and 13. Regional finalists will be promoted globally, and category winners will be awarded during the 13th World Urban Forum in Baku (18–22 May 2026).
Key dates:
• Deadline for entries: 29 October 2025
• Final awards: May 2026
