The annual Holdmark Innovation Award recognises excellence and innovation in the built environment.
Supported by Holdmark, the Award is presented by Powerhouse to a project that demonstrates excellence and innovation in architecture or engineering in the built environment. The award will spotlight one outstanding Australian-designed project completed between 1 January 2025 – 31 December 2025 that provides solutions to challenges experienced in Australia’s urban landscape. The winner will receive a A$15,000 cash prize.
