The XIV Din l-Art Ħelwa Architectural Heritage Awards competition is now open for entries.

The awards were set up to encourage architectural excellence in a Maltese context, the rehabilitation and reuse of old buildings, and the recognition of the dedicated work of those active in the field of restoration. The programme is carried out with the support of the Kamra tal-Periti.

Eligible projects include the restoration or conservation of buildings, the adaptation of buildings to new uses, building additions or alterations, or new building projects in conservation areas. The projects can relate either to a single building, a complex of buildings, or to a historic urban environment or townscape. The project will be judged on the quality of the work executed, its historic, cultural, educational and social relevance, the preliminary research conducted and the aesthetic and visual merit. The project may be on a scale ranging from small to large and should display a standard of work which would be outstanding in a Maltese context.

Submissions should be for projects completed in the last year up to August 31, 2018.

They must be received at Din l-Art Ħelwa, 133 Melita Street, Valletta by Friday, November 23, 2018. More information is available from the Kamra tal-Periti, or from the Din l-Art Ħelwa office by calling 2122 0358/2122 5952 or by e-mail to info@dinlarthelwa.org
