Eighteen countries submitted nominations for the UIA Golden Cube awards, dedicated to raising awareness about architecture among children and young people. After a preliminary national selection process, the nominations by participating UIA Member Sections in four categories (schools, institutions, written publications, and audio-visuals) were submitted on April 9, 2014 to an international jury chaired by former UIA president Vassilis Sgoutas.

The winners are:
The Champitas rural education centre in Chigorodó, Colombia, for 'House'
The Sendai architecture and children’s network for young victims of the 2011 earthquake in Japan
Laurence Calafat (France) for a card game dedicated to architectural icons
The Swedish Architecture Centre for its "Home" project

Two special mentions were awarded to the architecture workshop for children in Sofia, Bulgaria, and the Sergei Eisenstein library in Moscow, Russia, for "Peet Mondrian City".The prizes will be presented to winners at the UIA Congress in Durban, where 46 nationally selected projects will be on display. A conference on the theme "Transmitting architecture to children" will also be held on 5 August.
