The competition "Facility of the Year" has been organized since 1994. Its goal is to promote contemporary architecture, present the most valuable projects and, above all, reward investors, designers and contractors. The assessment covers the impact of a facility on the city skyline and its integration into the surrounding area, creating attractive public spaces and improving their aesthetics and functionality.

‘The essence of this competition is the beauty of architecture. Each of us perceives it in a different way (...) It is not an easy undertaking - to integrate something new into the conditions of a city like Toruń - which is exceptionally attractive for its architecture, which is in turn influenced primarily by the old town complex, but also by the buildings and the architecture of later centuries,’ said Mayor Michał Zaleski.
