Awards 2025 – Closing Soon

We’re looking for client-supported projects that are at a late stage of design or under construction. With a total prize pool of USD 1 million, the Holcim Foundation Awards is the world’s most significant competition for sustainable design — including buildings, landscapes, and infrastructure projects.

To participate, you must create a project by February 11, 2025, at 14:00 UTC. After that, you have until February 18, 2025, at 14:00 UTC to finalize and submit your entry.

In a special episode of the Ecogradia podcast, Laura Viscovich, Executive Director of the Holcim Foundation, shares insights on why you should enter the Holcim Foundation Awards 2025, and how projects are judged and shortlisted.

She explains how winning the Award has transformed past recipients’ careers - and highlighted their transformative approaches that find the sweet spot where environmental protection meets social equity and economic sense.

To highlight the lasting impact of its Holcim Foundation Awards, the Holcim Foundation launched “Words with Winners”, a film series showcasing how past winning projects have moved from visionary designs to become built realities that forge new approaches to sustainability.

As the series concludes, we thank the many talents involved and present a special montage film bringing together these remarkable stories. With the Holcim Foundation Awards 2025 entry window soon closing, we hope these past winners inspire additional submissions.
