Rather than rewarding architects or commissioners independently, the prize celebrates collaboration, shared ambition and the dialogue that makes exemplary projects possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Supported by the French Ministry of Culture, MAF Assurance and the Caisse des D\u00e9p\u00f4ts, the prize brings together leading actors from architecture, urban development and the built environment across France and Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The AMO association itself unites architects and public and private clients around a common objective: promoting architectural quality as a driver for ecological, social and territorial transition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-a-european-perspective\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">A European Perspective<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Architects and clients from across Europe are invited to apply, notably through the&nbsp;<strong>TransEuropArchi<\/strong>&nbsp;category, dedicated to cross-border Franco-European collaborations. The category rewards projects that embody shared expertise, cultural exchange and common European values such as sustainability, innovation and social responsibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the 2026 edition, the AMO Prize is opening particularly towards four partner countries: Belgium, Germany, Luxembourg and the Netherlands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-six-categories\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Six Categories<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 2026 AMO Prize includes six categories:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>The Most Beautiful Metamorphosis<\/strong>\u00a0\u2014 conversion, rehabilitation and extension projects giving existing buildings a meaningful new life.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The Most Audacious Construction<\/strong>\u00a0\u2014 projects exploring biobased materials, reuse and innovative construction techniques.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The Most Creative Typology<\/strong>\u00a0\u2014 hybrid, reversible and inventive programmes responding to emerging societal needs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The Most Productive Place<\/strong>\u00a0\u2014 workplaces and economic spaces balancing activity, well-being and environmental performance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The Best Urban or Rural Catalyst<\/strong>\u00a0\u2014 projects contributing positively to neighbourhoods, territories and ecosystems.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>TransEuropArchi<\/strong>\u00a0\u2014 the international category celebrating exemplary collaboration between French and European teams.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-ace-president-on-the-jury\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">ACE President on the Jury<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ACE is also pleased to announce that ACE President&nbsp;<strong>Daniel F\u00fcgenschuh<\/strong>&nbsp;will participate in the final jury of the 2026 AMO Prize, further reinforcing the European dimension of the initiative and ACE\u2019s commitment to promoting architectural quality, collaboration and innovation across borders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-key-dates\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key Dates<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Applications open:\u00a0<strong>15 April 2026<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Application period:\u00a0<strong>April \u2013 June 2026<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Final jury:\u00a0<strong>September 2026, Paris<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Award ceremony:\u00a0<strong>2 November 2026, Paris<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More information and applications:<br><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">AMO Prize Official Website<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 2026 edition of the AMO Prize is now officially open for applications.
