AIA CV HONORS + AWARDS is a bi-annual event
Our next call for entries will be in 2024. Our sincere thanks goes out to the firms who submitted projects this year, the Honors + Awards Committee, and the Design Awards Jury.
Design Awards
There are six categories in the Design Awards: Architecture, Contextual Design, Historic Preservation, Interiors, Residential Design, and Students and Emerging Architects. Within the six categories, submitted projects may be completed as well as envisioned or unbuilt projects.
The jury may select as many projects as they choose in each category for awards of Honor, Merit, and Honorable Mention.
Chapter Honors
The Chapter gives awards in four areas of practice:
The Milton Latour Grigg Award is the highest award bestowed on a member architect, to honor a distinguished, sustained, body of accomplishments. Award winner’s work spans the spectrum of the profession and transcends the scope of normal professional activities.
The Chapter Honors are given to members of the Central Virginia Chapter of the AIA who have distinguished themselves in design, practice, education, in service to the profession, or as a “citizen architect”. This Honor can serve as an accolade for the work of an entire career, or as recognition of the current accomplishments of a younger leader. Up to three awards may be bestowed each year.
The Community Service Award is the Chapter award honoring an individual or organization that has made significant contributions to the built environment or the public’s awareness of the built environment within Central Virginia.
The Young Activist in Architecture Award is awarded in recognition of the key role architects play in shaping our communities, and in particular, the energy with which young professionals are engaging in community activism. The award seeks to honor individuals who have demonstrated exceptional leadership and made significant contributions to their community early in their careers. Nominees must be AIA members in good standing for less than 10 years.
