Architects are invited to enter their projects into the 2006 Fly Forbo & Fly to Europe competition, with the prize a trip to Europe, including 12 night’s accommodation, entry to 100% Design in London and several outstanding projects across Europe, and a meeting at Forbo’s head office in Holland with its award-winning design team headed by Josee de Pauw.

Architects and designers have a chance to fly to Europe if they enter Forbo’s competition.

Architect John Wardle, one of two winners of the inaugural Fly Forbo competition, described his winning trip to Europe.

"This is a generous prize that benefits the creative culture of Australian architectural design", Wardle said.

"Our travels to Amsterdam and London were full of discovery with highlights being our time in Amsterdam and tours of buildings both known and discovered by chance in the two cities."

The Fly Forbo & Fly Free to Europe award is run in conjunction with the Interior Design Awards. All Interior Design Award entries that contain a Forbo product are eligible to enter the Fly Forbo award.

Judges select the prize winner by identifying the most stylish and innovative use of a Forbo product from their broad range that includes brands such as Marmoleum, Eternal, Smaragd, Step and Sarlon.
