Students from the Faculty of Architecture and Design at the Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava achieved significant success at the international student competition Urban Design Award, organized by the Faculty of Architecture at the Czech Technical University in Prague.

In the jubilee 30th edition of this prestigious competition, Nina Belásová and Victoria Betušová took 1st place for their project New Town - Banská Bystrica.
