Vanceva® World of Color Awards™ 2020 honours projects that most innovatively demonstrate creativity in the use of coloured laminated glass on finished buildings – both inside and out.

The Princess Máxima Center for Pediatric Oncology in the city of Utrecht has a bridge connecting the existing children's hospital to the newly-built adult cancer centre. Five metres above the ground, the 160m-long bridge has a glass surface of 1258m²

A call for the best uses of coloured laminated glass is going out to the world’s most innovative architects and designers. The 2020 Vanceva® World of Color Awards™ will honour those projects which demonstrate this aesthetic on completed buildings – indoors and out. As increasing number of architects and designers feature coloured laminated glass in their projects, these biennial awards are becoming ever more significant.

Professional architects, interior designers, glass fabricators, engineers and other industry professionals have until 29 February 2020 to upload basic project information in their own language to www.vanceva.com/woca/submit-a-project. The awards are free to enter.
