2012 Vision Awards now open - win a trip to the 2012 Venice Architecture Biennale

Viridian is excited to announce the opening of our 2012 Vision Awards which celebrate and promote the energy efficient and innovative use of glass in Australian architecture.

In a major change from previous years, the category prize structure has been revised and a new 'Overall Vision Award Winner' category has been added.  This winner will enjoy a trip to Venice, and secure 2 x Vernissage Passes to the 2012 Venice Architecture Biennale, arguably the most important event on the international contemporary architecture calendar, courtesy of Viridian and the Australian Institute of Architects.

The Biennale will be held in Venice from August 29th - November 25th, 2012 with the Vernissage dates on Monday 27th and Tuesday 28th August. The Vernissage is an exclusive two day opening of the Venice Architecture Biennale that precedes the public opening. Vernissage Passes cannot be purchased and are only allocated to media and the organisers of participating countries.

Now in their fourth year, the Vision Awards will again be presented during the Australian Institute of Architect's 2012 National Architecture Conference, which will be held in Brisbane on May 10-12, 2012. The prize pool is now comprised of:
