Vienna, January 2021 - Applications are open for the international Brick Award 22. Architectural projects implemented between 2018 and 2021 are accepted for participation, a significant part of which was made using ceramic building materials (bricks, tiles, blocks, paving stones, etc.).
In the fall of 2021, a shortlist of 50 nominees selected by the jury will be published on the website and social networks of the award. Winners will be announced at the Brick Award ceremony in late spring 2022.
