The jury may elect to honor projects by building type or other categories or may choose to make no such distinctions.

Associate AIA members and other unlicensed architecture graduates may submit projects that do not require the stamp of a licensed professional. Projects that have been honored in this program in past years and work by the design professionals serving as jurors this year (or by their firms) are not eligible.

Entry Fees

The non-refundable fee for the first submission is $150 for Massachusetts AIA members; $250 for all others. The fee for each additional submission by the same architect or firm is $100 for Massachusetts AIA members and $165 for all others.
