A: The documentation will not be returned, but kept in the archives of the Fondazione Frate Sole. The Foundation itself reserves the right to exhibit the designs and to use the illustrative and graphic material for publications, without owing anything to the Designers.
Q: How are the results of the competition communicated?
A: The results of the competition will be published on the Foundation's website.
Q: To whom is the International Prize for Sacred Architecture addressed?
A: The International Prize for Sacred Architecture is aimed at architects who have already executed a church and who can participate with photos and drawings of the building.
Q: How often does the International Prize for Sacred Architecture take place?
A: The International Prize for Sacred Architecture is held every four years. The next edition will be held in 2020.
Q: Concerning the International Prize for Sacred Architecture, is it possible to participate exclusively with projects for the new construction of churches, or are restorations of existing churches also allowed?
A: The International Prize for Sacred Architecture is only open to those who have "built a church". By best understanding, as the realisation of a church, we mean the construction of a church, hence new building and not other types of intervention (restoration, adaptation, ...).
Q: With regard to the International Prize for Sacred Architecture, having 'built a church', can its construction be understood as renovation and extension, with only part of the main façade being retained and the creation of new volumes and a new church layout?
A: You are invited to submit your project; the jury will check whether it can be admitted to the competition.
