Each year, the winners of “Europe 40 Under 40” along with their projects are included in a catalogue published by Metropolitan Arts Press and are exhibited at our Museum in Athens, Greece, The European Centre Athens, and throughout Europe.

Architects and industrial designers up to 40 years old (as of December 31, 2020) are invited to submit projects to be judged by a committee of distinguished architectural practitioners, developers, architectural, and design journalists, educators, and critics.
