Every year some of the most inspiring young leaders are elected within the frame of a worldwide selection and awarded with the Architects of the Future Award. A consideration of the Architects of the Future projects within the Waldzell Collection incumbent in the world famous library of Melk Abbey in Austria reveals the extraordinary appreciation and recognition of the great significance of our awardées.
The Collection honors selected lifeworks of outstanding contemporary personalities preserving them for posterity.
Furthermore, the Architects of the Future are honored to participate in one of the most highly endowed social awards – the Essl Social Price Award – taking place at the Hofburg Vienna. Within this celebration the Architects of the Future will socialize with various business leaders, important decision-makers and dedicated philanthropists.
Spiritual Retreat
In addition, we are offering an annual spiritual retreat for the award winners. The focus of this four-day-lasting retreat lies on a meditative examination of the very power source of each individual, the inner mission, and on the alignment of this source with its effectiveness outside. Following experiences have been considered to be special personal gains:
• Widening of perspectives towards an integral world view
• Gaining energy for a demanding day-to-day work of a young leader
• Reflection and exchange with likeminded people
• Connection on a deeper level facilitating real partnership and friendship
• Creation of a meaningful strong global and intercultural community
The competition is open to all applicants between the ages of 20 and 40, regardless of gender, nationality, social status, education or religious denomination. Applications may be submitted by anyone who has consequently completed a concrete project in an environmental, social, educational, health-care or communication context with working experience of a minimum of 3 years in one of those fields.
The competition for the grants is organized in co-operation with renowned international organisations. The period for application will end on 21 March 2012.
