The RIBA Stirling Prize is given for the RIBA Building of the Year. It is run in association with The Architects' Journal and is presented to the architects of the building which has been the most significant for the evolution of architecture in the past year.

The winning architect receives a cash prize of £20,000. The prize is named after the great British architect Sir James Stirling (1926-1992).
 
The shortlisted buildings, chosen from winners of the RIBA National Awards, are visited in September by the RIBA Stirling Prize jury, who reconvene on the afternoon of the RIBA Stirling Prize Dinner to make their final decision.  The Dinner will be held on Saturday 6 October 2007 at the newly refurbished Roundhouse, Chalk Farm Road, London NW1. Kevin McCloud will present the Channel 4 live broadcast. 

Tickets for the Dinner can now be reserved
