On 9 December 2014, the winners of the International Quarry Life Award were honored at a festive award ceremony held in Prague. The Quarry Life Award was established by HeidelbergCement to generate innovative ideas for promoting and protecting biodiversity at its quarry sites.

Almost 400 proposals from 22 countries were submitted in 2014, of which 95 were selected for the competition in five different categories: Biodiversity and Education, Innovation and Biodiversity, Biodiversity Enhancement, Raising Public Awareness, and Student Project. The best project in each category was awarded €10,000, and a grand prize of €30,000 was awarded to the best project overall.
