The annual RIBA Stirling award is a prestigious British award that chooses a shortlist of six projects of stellar architectural achievements. While the final decision is made by a panel of judges, the winner of the public “people’s votes” is announced separately a day before.

The 2021 Stirling award will be the first in its history to nominate a mosque.
