Community & Cultural Impact Award

The category recognises projects that strengthen communities, celebrate cultural identity and advance inclusivity through thoughtful design. Entries may include public and community spaces, cultural institutions, urban interventions, water bodies, urban forests and pedestrianisation initiatives. The Jury will consider social impact, accessibility, community participation, cultural relevance, sense of belonging, long-term influence and replicability, innovation in material use and sustainability. Project scale will not be a determining factor; smaller interventions with meaningful impact will be equally valued.
