Government award for inspiring commissioning
Are you or do you know a developer / commissioner with vision? Someone who looks beyond the assignment, who dares to innovate, connect and raise the quality of the built environment to a higher level?
In 2026, the government will once again shine the spotlight on clients who make a difference. On projects that combine courage, collaboration and social added value. On people and organisations that demonstrate that good commissioning is the driving force behind future-proof and inspiring projects.
Why participate?
- National recognition: your commissioning and project will gain visibility within a broad professional and public domain.
- Publicity: selected projects will be promoted through publications, presentations and various media.
- Knowledge exchange: participation offers access to a network of leading commissioners within architecture, urban planning and spatial development.
- Prestigious award: chance to win the Gouden Piramide and the accompanying prize money.
Who can apply?
The national award is aimed at commissioning parties with projects that focus on vision, collaboration and social added value. Whether it concerns area development, architecture, infrastructure, landscape design, renovation or repurposing: any project that promotes future-proof spatial quality is eligible. It is about the courage and ambition behind the project. It is about the innovation that has been sought and the way in which it has been achieved.
All developers are eligible for the award. Individuals, institutions, companies, corporations, governments, development consortia, etc. Only the national government is excluded from participation.
