«Plaster and Paint» – Prize for the best objects
The "Swiss Prize for Plaster and Paint" will be awarded for the fourth time at appli-tech from February 8th to 10th, 2023 for buildings and room concepts that show a differentiated, sustainable and high-quality handling of plaster and paint. Suitable projects can be submitted immediately.
The Swiss Painters’ and Plasterers’ Association SMGV and Messe Luzern AG jointly award the “Swiss Prize for Plaster and Paint” under the umbrella of appli-tech. They advertise the prize for teams made up of planners and craftsmen. Concretely implemented projects can be submitted in the two categories plaster facade/color design and interior design. A great opportunity, the SMGV and the Lucerne Exhibition Center agree. «In the past editions, the creative potential in the areas of plaster and paint could be shown with the submitted projects. We are convinced that this time we will be able to make high-quality and exciting work known to the public,” explains Ursula Gerber, trade fair manager at appli-tech. Mario Freda, SMGV Central President, adds: “This year we want to continue to promote the very important cooperation between experts from the trades and planning and move the use of plaster and paint into the focus of public attention.”
Energy renovation as a focus
A well-known jury evaluates the objects. In addition to the prizes in the plaster facade/color design and interior design categories, a special jury prize will be awarded for energy-efficient refurbishment. Jury member and SIA President Peter Dransfeld knows how important the topic is: “Sustainable building and energy-efficient renovations are becoming more and more important, with the design of the facade also playing a key role. Innovative and sensible solutions can be achieved in close, trusting and professional cooperation between architecture and trade. This honors this award.”
The jury awards a total prize money of CHF 35,000. The winning projects and selected works will be presented in a special show at appli-tech, the trade fair for the painting and plastering industry, drywall construction and insulation, from February 8th to 10th, 2023 and on the website. Reports in specialist media and the presentation in the jury report also beckon.
