The Dedalo Minosse International Prize for commissioning a building, which takes place in Vicenza, the city of Palladio, is promoted by ALA-Assoarchitetti, the association for professional architects, in collaboration with l'ARCA, the international magazine of architecture, design and visual communication, and the Regione del Veneto*.
Dedalo Minosse, which with this edition is celebrating the first ten years since its foundation, is the only prize of its kind. Indeed it acknowledges the value of the design and puts the spotlight on the commissioning parties, who are often overlooked when it comes to architecture. The fact that quality architectural creations can only result from a meeting of minds between those promoting it and those designing it is often forgotten. In fact it is the architects themselves that sponsor their clients for the conferment of this prestigious award.

The Jury assigned the following awards:

- the Dedalo Minosse International Prize, to a Client who commissioned a professional Architect from any country in the world;
- the Dedalo Minosse International Prize-OCCAM Under 40, to a Client who commissioned a young professional Architect from any country in the world;
- the ALA-Assoarchitetti Prize, to a Client who commissioned an Italian professional Architect;
- the ALA-Assoarchitetti Prize Under 40, to a Client who commissioned a young Italian professional Architect;

and
