Rules and Assessment

The commercial space must have been in operation for a minimum of 12 months to compete. Renovations and/or extensions must have been in operation for a minimum of 6 months to compete. Entries for national competitions must relate to projects in that same country. There are no restrictions for a winner to enter the competition and win the following year. Only members of NCSC can apply to the competition. Applications must have been received by NCSC according to the stated competition deadline, paid, and fully completed.

Winners in each category are elected by a jury, appointed by NCSC, and consist of 3-5 industry professionals. Each jury member assesses the contributions individually based on set evaluation criteria. The jury will visit a selected number of spaces to evaluate on sight. Finally, it is that “something special” that decides who wins; if the competitor has achieved something extraordinary and can be seen as a role model and an inspiration to the entire industry. In case of disagreement, the jury chair has the casting vote. Each jury chair in each category and country will take part in the Nordic jury group.
