Until 16 August, architects or multidisciplinary teams whose members are members of the Order of Architects may submit their proposals on the OASRS website. All the competing works will be exhibited in the gallery of the institution from 20 to 28 September 2018. The winning project receives a prize in the amount of 1500 euros and a financial support of another 2 thousand euros for the realization of the proposal.
