Entry for the RIBA Awards 2008 is now open
The Royal Institute of British Architects is once again on the lookout for potential RIBA Stirling Prize winners. Following on from the success of David Chipperfield's Museum of Modern Literature in Germany in October, the search has begun to find the best examples of new British architecture. Practices up and down the country are urged to submit projects of architectural excellence to the 2008 RIBA Awards scheme.
The RIBA awards programme, supported by The Architects’ Journal, is largely unchanged following the successful introduction of a new pyramid structure in 2007. RIBA Awards are judged and presented locally. The next level is the RIBA National Awards which are judged and presented nationally.
The RIBA Stirling Prize shortlist is selected following further visits to winners of the RIBA Awards and of RIBA European Awards for buildings in the rest of the EU.
From 2008, the RIBA Stirling Prize goes back to its roots as a ‘built or designed in Britain’ prize, for which only RIBA Award-winning buildings in the UK by RIBA chartered members and International Fellows, or buildings in the rest of the EU by practices whose principal office is in the UK, will be considered. The move will strengthen the British connection with the prize, while maintaining the competitive edge that buildings in Europe have always provided. Eligibility for all awards up to the RIBA Stirling Prize remains unchanged.
Now in its third year, the Lubetkin Prize shortlist is drawn from winners of RIBA International Awards for buildings in the rest of the world. Supported by The Architectural Review, the Lubetkin Prize will be presented to the most outstanding work of architecture outside the UK and the European Union by an RIBA member. The Lubetkin Prize will be judged by a jury which will visit the buildings on a shortlist drawn from winners of the RIBA International Awards.
