Following this premise, a maximum of 15 entries will be short-listed in the Built Heritage category and a maximum of 10 in the Exterior Spaces category, from which a prize-winner and finalists will emerge in both cases. In the Urban planning and Disclosure categories, a winner and finalists are selected.In the same way, as it happens since 2019, among all the works registered the directors of the contest together with a renowned expert will grant a Special Mention for Restoration to the intervention that, from a technical and methodological point of view, stands out for its quality, precision, and respect.In addition, the awarded works, the finalists, the shortlisted and all the ones signed up for the call, will form part of the catalogue published at the end of each edition with the aim of documenting the award and, will be added to the Archive AHI. A digital catalogue that has more than 1,100 entries from 34 different European countries and that, at the end of this year, will incorporate new search fields —program, period, typology etc., — thus becoming a useful analysis tool in the field of intervention in our surroundings.The previous edition of the European Award AHI, coinciding with its 10th anniversary in existence, experienced a growth of 25%, with almost 300 projects registered and 23 countries represented. These figures aspire to consolidate and confirm its maturity and its status as a European benchmark in the field of architectural restoration.The official awards ceremony will take place in June 2023 in Barcelona, in a public event that will coincide with the 6th International Biennial AHI.
