The two finalists were the Office Building of the Government of Navarre's Environment Department ( department ), work designed by architect Manuel Blasco; and the Municipal Canoeing School and the refurbishment of the Caparroso Mill, by Rufino Bruguera Prieto, Javier Jabat Inza and José Ignacio Alfonso Pezonaga.

The architects of the three nominated works attended the ceremony of submission, which took place at the Architecture School of the academic center. During the event, Victor Larripa, representing the students, said that the goal of awarding this award, in addition to recognizing the works, is "to form a generation of critical professionals".

Last year, the students chose the four best architectural works carried out in Pamplona in the last five years. The first award went to the Church and parish of the San Jorge neighborhood, by Tabuenca and Leache. The three runner-up prizes went to the Aquavox, by Juan Miguel Otxotorena, Mariano González Presencio and Luis Tena; the Bus Station, by Manuel Blasco, Luis Tabuenca and Manuel Sagastume; and the restaurant 'El Mercado', by Antonio Vaillo and Juan Luis Irigaray.
