The biennial award was launched in February to "support the talent of recently graduated architects, urban planners and landscape architects who will be responsible for transforming our environment in the future." European schools registered and then nominated the diploma projects from the 2015-2016 academic year in architecture, urban design and/or landscape architecture. In determining the shortlist, the jury* reviewed the 211 submissions that came from 268 students representing more than 100 schools and 86 European cities. (Future awards may grow the participation beyond Europe.)

World-Architects is a Founding Partner of YTAA, so we have set up a page highlighting the shortlisted projects. Further, finalists have received project pages, which are linked in the list below (be sure to click on these links to see the projects but also hear the authors talk about them in short videos). The three winners will receive a profile on World-Architects, in addition to the 5,000€ prize, participation in the EU Mies Award exhibition, a software license from sponsor Vectorworks, and furniture from sponsor USM for designing their work space.

The YTAA awards ceremony will take place at the Teatro Piccolo Arsenale in Venice on 28 October 2016, when the jury will announce and award the three winners among nine finalists drawn from the shortlist. The ceremony coincides with the Shaping European Cities debate, a collateral event of the 15th International Architecture Exhibition - La Biennale di Venezia. Details on the event and registration for the debate and ceremony are here.
