The AIA Arizona Design Awards program includes a number of “Practice” categories, with a specific Practice jury selecting the winners.
The Practice categories range from Firm of the Year to individual honors such as the AIA10 Award and the Associates Award to a number of awards focused on community design and architectural education.
Entries are accepted annually in a period that opens in May with an expected deadline in July. More information on award entries will be available in that window of time here, on the awards portal. Winners are recognized at the AIA Arizona Awards Gala in November.
Project categories honor architecture, interiors, and component design.
