At 6:30 PM, the “lobby” will open with music and a visual showcase of all 100+ projects submitted. Get ready for the show with your 2020 Honor Awards Bingo Card!
At 7:00 PM, the program will commence with a welcome from AIA Seattle Board President Brendan Connolly, and go on to feature behind-the-scenes highlights from the jury deliberation process, Award announcements with winning project images, insights from jurors Pascale Sablan, Tatiana Bilbao, and Marsha Maytum, and commentary by your fashionable co-hosts and Honor Awards Committee Co-chairs Kevin Snook and Ming-Lee Yuan.
