Every year between January and March the World Habitat Awards receive applications from all corners of the world. Soon after the call closes we start a rigorous evaluation process involving an independent advisory group of housing experts.
Between eight and 12 projects that demonstrate exceptional work in providing or promoting access to adequate housing are shortlisted as finalists each year.
Up to four projects are then visited by a small evaluation team before recommendations are presented to a panel of external judges, including the Executive Director of the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-HABITAT).
In the final stage two projects become Gold winners and the remaining either Silver or Bronze winners.
