History

Led by our local Education Coordinator, Maria Kalashnikova, Graphisoft Russia designed and launched a competition in 2018. It was an overwhelming success and attracted many students from the region, so they decided to repeat it in 2019. The second time around generated even more interest, and the number of BIM projects submitted by students nearly doubled. In 2020 pandemic year the BIM Project competition was launched globally and students all around the world could share their projects with community and win prizes.

This year the competition changed its name and become Graphisoft Student Awards competition. And it also “came back to the roots”: this year students from Russia, Ukraine, Georgia and CIS countries can participate.
