About the FIABCI World PRIX D’EXCELLENCE Awards 2019
The entire marking process involves two steps – first by the Judges and then by an Oversight Panel, involving 58 Judges from more than 35 countries in total.
The call-for-entry begins in July and ends on 21st December each year. The submitted projects are judged not only on their architecture, design and construction, but also on their impact on the community and environment, and their financial and marketing success.
These awards help create an extraordinary synergy in promoting knowledge and networking within the real estate industry. It is projected that by 2050, about 2.5 billion more people will inhabit our cities and nearly 70% of the world’s population will be living in urban areas. This urban growth represents greater challenges for our urban centres, and the property industry has a responsibility to contribute to the solutions.
