The Jury has the discretion to recognize projects within one of the four following categories:
Registration Deadline: May 3, 2023
Submission Deadline: May 17, 2023
We strive to promote, recognize, publicize, and celebrate the value exceptional design has on the fabric of society. Whether it is a large, multi-residential affordable housing project, or a small public work, our jurors are anxious to see your work.
Sustainability and resiliency have been measured for several years within the AIA CA Design Awards program. And with the urgency of climate action needed to sustain our communities, and the globe for that matter, AIA is now using the Common App to help measure and record the metrics needed to submit in the Design Awards program.
Learn how to complete the common app and submit for the Design Awards program, so you can further ensure your project’s successful consideration.

New in 2023. In addition to the 5 hours of learning in disability access, all California architects are now required to receive 5 hours of learning in Zero Net Carbon Design (ZNCD). To help meet these additional mandatory continuing education licensure requirements, AIA California is offering a variety of on-demand ZNCD courses through our partner aecKnowledge. These courses are presented free of charge as part of AIA California’s mission of helping design professionals reduce our carbon footprint. Click here to proceed to these on-demand courses.
