There is only one month left to submit projects for the International Golden Trezzini Awards for Architecture and Design. The application period for the seventh edition of the awards closes on September 15.

Established in 2018, the Golden Trezzini Awards are named after Domenico Trezzini (1670—1734), the first architect of St. Petersburg. The awards are organized by the Worldwide St. Petersburg Club, with Mikhail Piotrovsky, Director of the State Hermitage Museum, serving as the Honorary Chairman of the International Council of the Awards.
The contest’s motto is “Architecture as Art.” Applicants can compete in 18 main and 7 special categories, including two for architecture students.

Pavel Chernyakov, Chairman of the Golden Trezzini Awards Organizing Committee, says: “Our goal is not only to identify and encourage talented nominees but also to give their works the status of museum pieces. The winners will have a unique opportunity—their projects will be included in the architectural graphics fund of the State Museum of St. Petersburg History and will be exhibited at the annual ‘Architecture as Art’ exhibition at the Peter and Paul Fortress.”
