Participating architects profit in many ways
Architecture awards are a dime a dozen. But not many have built up such a strong reputation over the years as the Erich Mendelsohn Award for Brick Architecture. The aim of the award is to present the diverse possibilities of building with brick to a broad public. In addition to the prize money and a trophy, the best projects ultimately receive the professional recognition of a broad professional public. But even those who do not make it to the top of the podium can use the competition to attract attention and enhance their reputation.
