The Voice of the Architectural Profession in California
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.
2022 DESIGN AWARDS
The Jury has the discretion to recognize all projects with an honor or merit award. There is also a special award for Climate Action (formerly the Leading Edge award) for projects that excel both in terms of design and performance.
New for 2022! Special commendations may be awarded by the jury to recognize projects that excel in one measure outlined in the AIA Framework for Design Excellence. The jury will have the discretion to award up to 10 total single-measure commendations but are not required to recognize an entry under each measure. No project shall be chosen for a commendation in more than one category or may receive a commendation in more than one year from the same category. Recipients of a commendation will be eligible to resubmit their project for an Award in future years.

HOW TO COMPLETE THE COMMON APP WEBINAR
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.
