Ulsan City will hold the ‘Architecture Award’ contest until August 25.


Now in its 13th year, the ‘Ulsan City Architecture Award’ is an event that selects architects and citizens who have contributed to improving the quality of life for citizens and promoting architectural culture by realizing the public value of architecture. It has been held since 1996.


The contest targets buildings in Ulsan City that have received usage approval. The categories for submission are three: residential, public, and general.


Comprehensively evaluating creativity, public value, functionality, and constructability, a total of six awards will be selected and presented: one grand prize, three excellence awards, and two merit awards.


To apply, applicants must prepare an application form along with explanatory materials of up to 10 pages, including the building’s design summary and site photos, and submit them directly to the Ulsan City Architecture Policy Division or send them by mail.


In September, Ulsan City will form a judging committee consisting of architecture committee members, public architects, and citizen judges. Through first and second rounds of document screening and a third round of on-site evaluation, the ‘Outstanding Architecture’ will be finally selected.


The outstanding buildings will be promoted on the city’s website and blog, and designers will receive special benefits such as preferential selection for various committees including public architects and the public architecture review committee.


Also, at the opening ceremony of the ‘7th Ulsan Architecture Culture Festival’ held this November, plaques will be awarded to building owners and designers, and models will be produced and exhibited for many citizens to view.



To ensure objectivity in judging, Ulsan City is also recruiting two citizen judges by July 14.
