[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Sang-hyun] Gyeongsangnam-do announced on the 8th that it is accepting submissions for the '14th Gyeongsangnam-do Architecture Awards' until October 6, aiming to select outstanding buildings that showcase creative architectural plans and solid construction.

The Gyeongsangnam-do Architecture Awards began in 1997 as the Gyeongsangnam-do Architecture Grand Prize and are currently held biennially.

This year, marking the 14th edition, the name was changed to the Gyeongsangnam-do Architecture Awards, and the award categories have been expanded to include green architecture and small-scale buildings.

The number of winning works will also increase from the previous four to seven (1 Grand Prize, 1 Excellence Award, 3 Merit Awards, 2 Special Awards) to encourage more participation.

The competition targets buildings completed between July 31, 2018, and July 31, 2021, within the province, and applicants can be the designers, constructors, or building owners of the eligible buildings.

Especially this year, to improve convenience and participation rates, submissions will be reviewed based on PPT files instead of printed materials for judging.

Submitted works will be evaluated by a separate judging committee in October.

Building owners of the seven final winning works will receive commemorative plaques, and designers or constructors will be awarded certificates from the governor.

For more details about the competition, refer to the notices section on the Gyeongsangnam-do official website or contact the Architecture and Housing Division of the provincial office.
