Beta Awards 2026 take place between July 2 and October 25 and are open to participants from across the DKMT Euroregion¹. The competition is open to all those who contribute to the creation of high-quality architecture within the DKMT Euroregion, including architects, urban planners, landscape architects, set designers, light artists, graduates of architecture / interior architecture / urban planning / visual arts / design, engineers, IT professionals, public administrations, NGOs, sociologists, psychologists, critics, theorists, philosophers, and others.
Submissions open on July 2 and close on August 9.
The selected projects will be exhibited in public space, taking architectural works beyond professional circles and bringing them into the life of the city.
Beta brings together a series of actions, projects, events, exhibitions, and installations around three pillars: Education, Profession, and City. What we propose is an architecture of action, defined by the desire to be proactive, to collaborate, to engage in dialogue, and to build connections—thus gaining a comprehensive understanding of the built environment in all its complexity.
Beta Awards are the flagship event of the Profession pillar, supporting and promoting high-quality architecture and the professionals who contribute to improving the built environment. The awards are conceived as a platform for interaction both within the profession and between the profession and the socio-cultural context in which it operates.
