Organised byPlečnik Fund

The Plečnik Award was launched in 1972, to mark the centenary of Slovenia's most acclaimed architect Jože Plečnik (1872-1957), and to highlight outstanding achievements in Slovene architecture. The Plečnik Fund, established a year later, annually issues a competition call for the Plečnik Awards. Submissions for the best architecture and landscape architecture, for the best final-grade or postgraduate student works in the field of architecture and design, for special research contributions in the field of architecture, and for special contributions to the development of architecture, are then nominated by an expert committee of the Association of Architects.

The 2003 Plečnik Award went to the architects of a primary school in Kočevje, southern Slovenia, while a Plečnik Medal for his contribution to the development of Slovene architecture was posthumously presented to architect Savin Sever. In the same year the Plečnik Fund also honoured an international group of architects - Aljoša Dekleva, Manuela Gatto, Tina Gregorič, Robert Sedlak and Vasili Stroumpakos - who had examined the effects of shifting residential habits on urban residential architecture in their Masters dissertation entitled Negotiate My Boundary!, written as part of their study at the London Architectural Association.
