The winners of the International Velux Award 2006 for Students of Architecture will be announced at the prize-giving ceremony to take place at the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, Spain, on 23 October 2006. Spain was chosen as the venue for the 2006 award event to reflect the international scope of the Velux business. In 2004 the event was held in Paris, and the Velux General Manager in Germany was on the jury. The General Manager of Velux Italy, Massimo Buccilli, is on the jury of the 2006 edition, and Spain was a natural choice for the award ceremony, as the firm is sponsoring the Velux 5 Oceans race, starting from Bilbao in October. Velux has the opportunity to collaborate with the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao as Visitor Services Sponsor, and to use the spectacular spaces of the Museum as a setting for the event. The award ceremony, which brings together winners, tutors, students, jury members, architects and other building professionals in the famous Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, will take place on Monday 23 October, the day after the start of the Velux 5 Oceans.
