The audience had the opportunity to view more than 70 architectural projects across Slovenia from April 12, 2024, to May 5, 2024. In the category of public, social, and business projects, the Brežice Water Tower won the award.

The OHS Festival is based on a simple concept that allows everyone to engage with and experience high-quality architecture. Guided tours led by architects, conservators, engineers, owners, investors, and contractors provide visitors with a comprehensive understanding of the creation and significance of each architectural work.

The OHS Festival has been awarding prizes since 2019. The OHS Award is not a traditional architectural award given by a selected expert jury to professionals in the field of architectural design. The OHS Award aims to encourage the broadest public participation in understanding and deciding on selected projects. All objects presented in the festival program are confirmed by an expert jury, while the general public and visitors cast their votes for the project of their choice.
