the jury
The AIA Northern Virginia Design Awards Committee will select a jury of distinguished architects from outside the Northern Virginia region and is selected with the assistance of another AIA component. This year's jury is from Philadelphia. The jurors are asked to be aware of and consider the AIA Framework for Design Excellence during deliberation.
