The OBEL AWARD is a global award presented annually to honour "recent and outstanding architectural contributions to human development all over the world."[1]
The prize sum is €100,000, making the OBEL AWARD one of the world's largest architecture prizes in terms of prize money.[2][3] From the Awards establishment in 2019 until 2023 the winner also received an artwork trophy designed by Tomás Saraceno.[1]
The OBEL AWARD was founded by Danish businessman Henrik Frode Obel (1942-2014) and sponsored by Henrik F. Obel Foundation, based in Copenhagen, Denmark.[1]
Henrik Frode Obel decided to dedicate his entire fortune to establishing a foundation to reward and support exceptional works of architecture – and so to contribute in his own way to the development of the fields of architecture and design.
The award aims to honour outstanding architectural contributions to social and ecological development globally. These contributions should offer seminal approaches to urgent problems.
The award focuses on the collaborative and cross-disciplinary elements of architecture that demonstrates influential ideas and solutions that can spearhead and seed future architectural developments.
The OBEL AWARD seeks to recognise talent, creativity, and responsibility and offers an incentive to architects and other professionals to consider their obligations toward the common good.
Besides the annual award ceremony, The OBEL AWARD produces books and publications and presents exhibitions and lectures on themes within architecture. They also do Teaching Fellowships and awards internationalisation funds and travel grants to Danish students of architecture.[4][5][6][7][8]
