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.
Dear Quarry Life Award participants, With just a couple of weeks left of the research phase, it’s time to start thinking about your final report - it can be uploaded to the QLA website. The deadline for uploading your documents is 15th September 2022. The QLA team wishes you a healthy and productive summer in our quarries.
The national and international jury members visit our quarrying sites and learn more about the QLA projects from the participants.
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.
