Part of the Profession pillar of the biennial, Beta Awards returns in 2026 with a new edition dedicated to projects, research and practices that contribute to the development of the built environment across the DKMT Euroregion.
From July 2 to August 9, 2026, architects, designers, researchers, students and members of the public are invited to submit work across the competition's eight categories: Built Space, Interior Space, Public Space, Endeavours, Graduation Projects, In Theory, Text and Photography.
In dialogue with the theme of Beta 2026, In Practice – as opposed to ‘in theory’, this edition introduces a new category, In Theory, dedicated to unbuilt projects and ideas that were never realised but continue to contribute to architectural discourse.
Projects will be evaluated by an international jury, and the selected works will be presented in an exhibition as part of Beta 2026.
Submission period: 2 July – 9 August 2026.
The competition regulations, category descriptions, and other details are available on the dedicated awards platform:
