There are just two weeks left to enter our Radical Renewal Competition, which calls for innovative designs that reimagine historical buildings without compromising their heritage. Enter before 25 June.
The Radical Renewal Competition is a global design contest that invites architects and designers to select a historic building and propose a forward-thinking solution to rejuvenate it for contemporary use.
Through the competition, Dezeen and Bentley seek to discover bold ideas that adapt existing architecture for the future, blending innovation with respect for the past.
Contest challenges designers to retrofit historic buildings
The competition is free to enter for anyone over 18 and from any country around the world. It is open for entries until 25 June 2025.
The best proposals will be revealed in September 2025. A top prize of £15,000 will be awarded to first place, while the runner-up will receive £10,000 and the third-placed entrant will receive £5,000.
How to enter
Entrants must submit a description of their idea explaining how it meets the brief, along with supporting imagery showcasing the concept.
Entrants have the option to produce a video or animation of the design, which should be uploaded to an external hosting platform such as YouTube or Vimeo and submitted via a URL.
Contestants are free to use generative AI tools for their submission, but must disclose what tools they have used and how.
The Radical Renewal Competition closes for entries at midnight on 25 June 2025.
