With the aim of encouraging architects and experts from the pool sector to be creative, and to increase their visibility, Fluidra is launching The Cool Pool Awards, an international architecture and design competition.
 

The Pool Cool Design Awards


The competition, which is to be run over a period of two years, was devised as a platform for new talent and ideas and, above all, as an opportunity to showcase high standards and professionalism. Besides the backing given by Fluidra, the competition also has the support and advice of a group of experts, who will be responsible for ensuring that the aims of this first edition of The Cool Pool Awards are met.
