“This competition is a great opportunity for emerging architects to build their boldest designs. You don’t get the chance to design a cinema every day, let alone the cinema of a contemporary art museum. For us the competition was an invaluable experience and a confidence booster.”

Participants will be able to apply online until July 4, 2021, and the winning project will be built in 2022 to be operational in the summer of the same year.
