The **Kasper Salin Prize** (Swedish: *Kasper Salin-priset*) is a prize awarded annually by Architects Sweden (*Sveriges Arkitekter*) to a Swedish building or building project "of high architectural quality". It is considered the most prestigious architectural prize in the country[citation needed] and has been awarded since 1962. The award is distributed to the building itself and consists of a bronze [relief](/source/Relief), designed by Swedish architect [Bengt Lindroos](/source/Bengt_Lindroos) (1918–2010), which is attached to the building. The prize was funded on the basis of a donation from Kasper Salin (1856–1919) who served as the city architect of Stockholm from 1898 until 1915.[1][2]

A satirical version of the award, [Kasper Kalkon-priset](/source/Architectural_Uprising#Kasper_Kalkon_Award), was created by [Architectural Uprising](/source/Architectural_Uprising).[3]
