The Quarry Life Award is a scientific and education competition, takes place every three years and runs simultaneously at national and international levels. Its aim is to raise the awareness of the ecological value of extraction sites and sharing new best practices.
Currently, biodiversity projects are carried out in our quarries around the world.
We will award international prizes up to € 30,000 in 2022.
For the fifth edition of the Quarry Life Award, five International Jury members have been nominated to assess the projects for International Awards. They will work simultaneously with the national juries, but focusing on different evaluation criteria.
The participants will update you with their blogs about the research conducted in our quarries.
Projects participating in the competition will be published soon. The 5th edition of the Quarry Life Award enters into the next phase with more exciting things ahead!
