Any licensed AIA Architect member of the Northern Virginia Chapter may enter a project for which the entrant has had significant responsibility for design authorship of the project submitted. All work submitted must have been completed after June 1, 2017. A project can be entered in only one category per year. Projects previously honored with an award in this program are not eligible for additional awards and should not be resubmitted for other categories. Members may resubmit any eligible projects that have not received an award previously.

In addition, eligible projects can be forwarded to the Fairfax County James M. Scott Exceptional Design Awards (annually) and the DESIGNArlington Awards (biennially). While completing the application form, be sure to indicate your preference. Projects entered into the Conceptual/Unbuilt category are not accepted by the county programs.
