The EADA is an annual programme recognising outstanding achievement in architecture across residential, cultural, civic, and public projects. It is organised by the Farmani Group.

The Farmani Group — established in 1985 — is the organiser. The same team behind the International Design Awards, EPDA, Lucie Awards, and Prix de la Photographie Paris.

The EADA is an independent programme. Winners are recognised for the quality of the work, not their institutional affiliation.

Architects, studios, urban planners, landscape architects, students, and recent graduates from anywhere in the world. Non-European work is welcome; the programme is European in identity, global in reach.
