If the proposals are for a project already built or where construction has started, it must be started after January 1, 2022.

According to the eligibility criteria, the applications entered in the competition must include projects that can be realized for a potential or confirmed client, which have a holistic, transformational, scalable character and respect the objectives of the Holcim Foundation regarding sustainable constructions, namely: to contribute to the local valorization of spaces, contribute to community prosperity, have economic viability, and contribute to a healthier planet.
