"Based on the principle that "architecture is not merely a technical or aesthetic matter, but a cultural, environmental, and democratic issue," this 19th cycle of the Prize brings together 410 works from 40 countries and 143 regions across Europe. Beyond recognizing contemporary architecture projects, the Awards also aim to reflect European values such as cultural diversity, sustainability, democracy, and solidarity."
"This year, most nominated works (23%) are residential projects, including both collective and single-family housing, followed by cultural (13%) and educational (12%) programs. The selection shows a balance between transformations of existing buildings (44%) and new construction (56%), while 12% of the nominees are transnational works and 33% of the studios are 10 years old or younger, underscoring the growing visibility of emerging practices."
"The Awards celebrate contemporary architecture at an international scale, with works submitted by a network of national architectural associations, independent experts, and the Awards Advisory Committee, showcasing the most significant built projects completed between May 2023 and April 2025. For this cycle, the EUmies Awards also announced the 2026 Jury, chaired by Chilean architect Smiljan Radić. The panel includes Carl Bäckstrand (Sweden), Deputy CEO of White Arkitekter and a leading voice in sustainable design and resilient cities;"
