The competition was known as the Holcim Awards from 2003. Holcim Ltd and Lafarge S.A. completed their global merger and launched LafargeHolcim in July 2015. The name of the foundation was changed to LafargeHolcim Foundation, and the competition became the LafargeHolcim Awards.[4]

Regional and global phase

The LafargeHolcim Awards competition opens with five regional LafargeHolcim Awards competitions and is followed by the Global LafargeHolcim Awards. The regional LafargeHolcim Awards are based on five geographic areas: Europe, North America, Latin America, Middle East Africa, and Asia Pacific. Entries in the competition are allocated to a region based on the location of the project.

LafargeHolcim Awards main and Next Generation category

There are two categories within the competition:[5][6] The LafargeHolcim Awards main category of the competition is open to architects, planners, engineers, and project owners that showcase sustainable responses to technological, environmental, socioeconomic and cultural issues affective contemporary building and construction. The fifteen projects that receive LafargeHolcim Awards Gold, Silver or Bronze in the five regions are then qualified for the competition for the Global LafargeHolcim Awards.[7] The Next Generation category is open for students and young professionals not older than 30. The category seeks visionary design concepts and bold ideas including design studio and research work.[8]

Evaluation criteria

Submissions in both categories are evaluated by independent juries, using five "target issues" to define sustainable construction.[9] Three of these align with the triple bottom line concept of balanced social, environmental and economic performance. The two remaining target issues define contextual and aesthetic impact, as well as innovation and transferability.

Juries

The independent juries consist of renowned experts from architecture, engineering, planning, and the construction industry.[10]

Prizes

The total prize money for each cycle of the regional and global LafargeHolcim Awards competitions is US$2 million.[11]
