Entries for all 17 categories in the National Skyline Awards close on November 22 as developers, designers and architects braise for the presentation of the Golden Wheelbarrows to recognize the movers and shakers of Sri Lanka’s real estate and infrastructure sector.
The awards are a collaborative initiative of the Ministry of Megapolis and Western Development and Sri Lanka Skyline, the window to the country’s mega developments.
Awards will be presented in some 17 categories and include tallest structure, tallest building, tallest living space, tallest hotel, most futuristic building design, best green building and best commercial space. As an incentive for smaller but significant developments, best buildings under 20 and 10 floors will also be awarded.
Among the awards will also be Best developer, Best Interior and Best Service Provider to the real estate industry. A noteworthy recognition is the award to recognize iconic developments in history awarded in the Sri Lanka Hall of Fame and Most Iconic Project categories.
Sri Lanka’s best architect and young architect will also be awarded at the awards ceremony slated for late November.
Entries are now open on www.srilankaskyline.com and a jury comprising industry experts, academics, Ministry officials and media experts will evaluate entries and announce the nominees.
An actual wheelbarrow painted in gold and mounted with a plaque will become one of the world’s most unusual awards with 17 Golden Wheelbarrows expected to be lined up at the awards night slated for January.
