Slaný (Kladensko) – The main prize in the Building of the Year competition for the Central Bohemian Region 2024 was awarded to the sports hall in Řevnice near Prague. The regional governor's award for contributions to the region went to the assisted living apartments and the kindergarten in Horní Jirčany. The public award was received by three buildings – a multifunctional sports hall in Slaný, the construction of a new gymnasium at the Říčany grammar school, and the construction of a parking garage in Čelákovice. The results of the competition were announced today by the organizers at the Municipal Theater in Slaný.

The expert jury also awarded additional honors. The regional governor's award for an individual contribution to architecture was given to architect Martin Rajniš. The award for architectural solutions for a project funded by the EU went to the community center in Máslovice. The Ministry of Industry and Trade award was received by the Škoda Auto administrative building.

Among the 34 projects submitted in this year's competition, transport constructions predominated. There were also public infrastructure buildings, civic amenities, and the competition included projects for education, culture, production, and administration. There were slightly more new constructions than renovations and revitalizations. Public clients significantly outnumbered private investors, with their projects representing more than two-thirds of the submissions.
