They will be examined by a prestigious jury composed of Jean Nouvel, architect, winner of the Pritzker Prize in 2008, Joseph Giovannini, architect, historian, author, Anupama Kundoo, architect, Loris Gréaud, artist, Carme Pigem, architect, RCR Arquitectes, winner of the Pritzker Prize in 2017 and Julie Cattant, architect, PhD in architecture.

The award ceremony and the events surrounding this prize will take place on April 29 and 30, 2024 at ENSAM, in the presence of personalities from the world of architecture and the arts, as well as Claude Parent's family.
