The OBEL AWARD is an international prize and never limits the consideration of eligible projects due to nationality, ethnicity, gender, race, religion, ideology, or age.

The jury of professionals, who are leaders in their respective fields and can understand and appreciate the larger context, select the winning work. The jury comprises five to seven members with strong architectural profiles or distinguished professionals from other related backgrounds. Members serve for a term of three years, while the jury chair serves for a six-year period. The specific focus of the year and the winning project are the exclusive responsibilities of the jury.
