Besides receiving a credibility boost with both industry professionals and prospective clients, each category award-winner is presented with an ex- clusive Kane Cali designer trophy in- spired by the angular forms of Valletta's famed fortifications. Winners are given the opportunity to participate in a year long wide range of brand and PR initi- atives. is year's MASP Awards incorpo- rates key changes to best reflect the dynamic industry it represents. Along with the introduction of new categories and some revisions to the older ones, the third edition will be the first to ac- knowledge the general public's appreci- ation of beautiful local architecture. Following feedback from stakeholders in the industry, the previous Rehabili- ation and Restoration Award has been split to include an award that solely recognises projects where the primary focus was to restore and preserve the authenticity of a building/monument. e design award has now been ex- tended to include buildings/structures that not only are within an urban set- ting, but showcase good design in a ru- ral or marine setting. Meanwhile, a new Residential Architecture Award is ded- icated to quality residential buildings. e reach of the latest MASP Awards will extend even further than in pre- vious editions. A new Architecture Photography Award is open to anyone in Malta, considering photography submissions of local architecture built after 1960. Likewise, this year the pub- lic can also vote online for any project in the awards, with the overall winner receiving an additional accolade in rec- ognition. e Awards Ceremony for the 2021 edition will be held live at the Teat- ru Manoel in Valletta on Saturday 26 February 2022, in-line with all current COVID-19 protocols. Entries for the awards are open until Wednesday 5 January 2022, while public voting will take place between 24 January and 5 February 2022. "e jury will evaluate each project's form, function, innovation, quality, sus- tainability and energy efficiency to se- lect the winner in each category," con- cludes Mr Gingell. "e MASP Awards is an opportunity for both industry newcomers and stalwarts to come to- gether and showcase their quality pro- jects and innovative ideas, for the ben- efit of Malta's architectural world for many years to come."
