Since 2009 the cash prize is given to the winners by Ministry of the Environment and Spatial Planning - the grant Piranesi Award in value 3.000 EUR, both Piranesi Honorable Mentions and a Student Piranesi Award in value 1.000 EUR.
Background
Every year the national selectors select five projects from their country which compete for the Piranesi Award. The most important criterion for the selection is to have made a step forward in finding architectural solutions within a certain "milieu". The jury consists of the participating lecturers of the international conference Piran Days of Architecture.
Piranesi Award
In 2009 a total of 31 projects from Austria, Czech Republic, Greece, Croatia, Italy, Slovakia, and Slovenia took part in the international exhibition for the International 2009 Piranesi Award, which was granted to decaARCHITECTURE from Greece for the project Aloni house in Antiparos.
Recent Piranesi Award winners were Miha Klinar, Špela Kuhar, Blaž Medja, Uroš Pavasovič, and Robert Potokar from Slovenia (2004), Idis Turato & Saša Randić from Croatia (2005), Dean Lah & Milan Tomac - Enota Architects from Slovenia (2006), Studio Njirić+Arhitekti from Croatia (2007), and Ján Studený and Martin Vojta from Slovakia (2008).
Piranesi Honorable Mention
International 2009 Piranesi Honorable Mention went to Laura Peretti (Studio Insito) from Italy for the project Watermills Houses’ renovation, and Andreas Cukrowicz and Anton Nachbaur – Sturm (Cukrowicz Nachbaur Architekten) from Austria for the project Community Center in St. Gerold.
Student Piranesi Award
In 2009 competition for the Piranesi Student's Honorable Mention took place for the first time with international competition and for the second time with an international jury.
From the 16 exhibited works by students from the Faculty of Architecture, University of Ljubljana and faculties of architecture of Maribor, Trieste, Pescara, Zagreb, Graz and Vienna, the jury granted International 2009 Piranesi Student's Honorable Mention to students Gregor Pils & Andreas Claus Schnetzer and mentors Karin Stieldorf and Pekka Janhunen from the Technische universitaet Wien, for the project Pallethous.
