The Début Award is granted after an independent selection in two separate stages. Firstly, through a call for self-proposals. In the meanwhile, dozens of international architects are invited to nominate those they consider worthy of the prize. The set of proposals is then made available to the jury, which selects the list of finalists and the winning studio.
