ARCHIZINC trophy: general presentation

Open to architects throughout the world, this competition awards prizes in four building categories: Individual Housing, Collective Housing, Public Buildings and Commercial Buildings.

Depending on the type of projects received the special prize categories may change: “Jury’s Prize”, "Innovation", "Environment", "Technical Performance"…

The purpose of this bi-annual competition is not only to reward the most attractive creations for the quality of their architecture and their integration into the environment but also to highlight zinc through appropriate new applications.

Winners receive an artistic work made of zinc (the ARCHIZINC TROPHY) at an award ceremony.

Their creations are published in a special issue of FOCUS ON ZINC, an international architectural journal by VM ZINC®, 80,000 copies of which are distributed to building professionals in over 30 countries.
