Competition Begins – Estonian Concrete Building of the Year 2024

The Estonian Concrete Association and the Estonian Association of Construction Material Producers announce the "Estonian Concrete Building of the Year 2024" competition. The goal of the competition is to enhance the reputation of concrete as a domestic building material and to promote the development of concrete architecture, concrete technology, and concrete construction.

"The high participation in Estonia's oldest continuously running construction competition continues to demonstrate the diverse advantages of concrete, the most widely used building material," said Imre Leetma, Chairman of the Estonian Concrete Association. "Each year, numerous buildings and structures are completed in Estonia where concrete plays a central role. We eagerly await the most outstanding projects to participate in our anniversary competition," added Leetma.

The contest is open to entries including:

• Constructions – buildings and structures handed over during the year 2024;
• constructions not yet previously submitted to the competition;
• designs and proceedings may be entered as well.

The winning project or procedure will be one where the work of companies registered in Estonia and concrete materials supplied from Estonia have played a significant role. When selecting the winner, the jury will consider the professionalism, level of difficulty, quality, and innovation involved in the design and construction of the project.
The main prize will be awarded to the author of the winning idea. Recognition will also be given to the client, designer, builder, formwork supplier, concrete product manufacturer, and concrete supplier of the winning project.
