# Concours de façades de la ville de Paris

The concours de façades de la ville de Paris was an architecture competition organized by the city of Paris at the very end of the 19th century and beginning of the 20th century.

## History

The contest was held annually between 1898 and the late 1930s, with an interruption during World War I. It recognized several buildings completed during the year.
In instituting the contest, the city of Paris took inspiration from a similar contest held in Brussels [fr] in the 1890s. The Parisian contest was originally set up after the creation of the Rue Réaumur in 1897 in order to promote the construction of original and attractive buildings on this street. It was initially restricted to the Rue Réaumur, but was ultimately extended to the whole of Paris.
