The rewarded projects will receive ultimate recognition during the Awards Gala dinner at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in Hong Kong on Thursday 8 November 2012.

New this year, the 30 winners will be submitted to a pre-MIPIM Asia online vote open to the public who will choose the winner of "Your Choice Award".
