This architecture competition is organised each year like contribution to the UN International Year of Shelter for the Homeless with goal to projects that provide practical, innovative solutions to current housing needs, with a particular focus on decent, affordable housing.

The World Habitat Awards recognize and highlight innovative, outstanding and sometimes revolutionary housing ideas, projects and programs from across the world.

Entries should relate to housing projects and processes that are either completed or in progress. Those that are at design stage only or in the very early stages of development cannot be considered.

Previous entrants can re-submit in subsequent years providing that the project has been further developed in the intervening time period.

• Innovation - What makes this project different? Is it doing pioneering work in a particularly challenging context, or using a new or little-used approach to housing?
• Sustainability - Is the project capable of continuing over the long term? Are the impacts of the project sustained after it has been completed? Does it consider how it works with the environment, people and society?
• Transferability - Can this idea or approach be used to solve similar problems elsewhere?
• Significance - Is this tackling an issue which is particularly current, urgent or neglected?
