Abstract: We consider shape optimization problems of the form
\min\left\{\int_{\partial A} f(x,\nu(x))\hbox{d}x {\cal{H}^{n-1}} :A\in{\cal A}\right\}
where $f$ is any continuous function and the class ${\cal A}$ of admissible domains is made of convex sets. We prove the existence of an optimal solution provided the domains satisfy some suitable constraints.
