How can beginners in architecture and design get a position in a good company? And how can experienced architects and designers attract more clients? The chances depend on reputation and name recognition of a specialist, things developed with years of hard work. But if you are sure you have a special gift and ready for international acclaim, you can test it and let the world know right now. Applying for well known architecture and design awards like the Eurasian Prize is probably what you need.

The Eurasian Prize Organizing Committee announces start of works submission for competition program in its 12th season (2014-2015). Professional architects, designers, companies, students and teachers of relevant schools and faculties are invited to compete.
The Eurasian Prize history starts back in 2001, when Univer Press publishing house started a new project – Le Tabouret magazine. The main concept of the magazine was publishing most interesting examples of architecture and design. A reliable source of such works was needed, so the editorial board decided that a competition would serve well as such source. In 2002 the competition was held for the first time, but the name “Eurasian Prize” appeared a year later. Since that the Eurasian Prize recipients have been architects and designers from Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Belarus, Italy, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Moldavia, Israel, USA, Germany, Korea, France and Switzerland. There were such stars of the world of architecture and design among the Eurasian Prize jurors as Massimiliano Fuksas (Italy), Frank Gotre, Charles Allen, Gael Penno, Francois Ratchet (France), Alberto Rubio (Spain), Federico Delrosso (Italy) and many others.
Entries are submitted in two main categories: professionals and students.

And as previously, there are different branches of competitions:

Architecture and Urbanism.
Environmental Design.
Industrial Design.
Relevant Education.

Main innovation of the new season is the Eurasian Prize for the best university. Relevant schools take part in a team competition automatically. Three places are awarded to the universities according to the total amount of points gained by the winners representing them in students category.

The Eurasian Prize 2015 has three deadlines:
