Introduction

Established in 1985, the World Habitat Awards recognise practical, innovative and sustainable solutions to current housing issues faced by countries of the global South as well as the North, which are capable of being transferred or adapted for use elsewhere. Entries are assessed by a panel of international judges and an award of £10,000 is presented to the two winning projects at the annual United Nations celebration of World Habitat Day.

Who can enter?

The competition is open to all individuals and organisations, including central and local governments, community-based groups, NGOs, research organisations and the private sector from any country of the world.

How to enter

Stage I of the submission process requires only a concise summary of the project. Further details can be found on the World Habitat Awards website at www.worldhabitatawards.org.
