World Habitat

The 2022 World Habitat Awards are now closed for entries. We would like to thank everyone who took the time to enter – we received over 110 entries this year from organisations and projects working in 50 different countries.

Our selection process starts now, beginning with our in-depth analysis of all the entries as part of our thorough assessment process. We will be in touch with organisations and projects about the progress of their entries over the coming weeks and months, as the very best projects advance through each stage.

In the meantime, you can read more about the incredible achievements and innovations of last year’s winners here.
