2024 Honor Awards | Submissions Open
Designing a vibrant future.
In this time of transition and possibility, it is more important than ever to ask powerful questions: What kind of world do we want to leave future generations? What is our role in bringing about a thriving future? How can our design solutions address ecological and social needs and what new collaborators bring additional wisdom to the design table?
You play a vital role in showcasing the visionary design and impactful projects in our region and beyond, and we encourage you to share your work by submitting to AIA Seattle’s 2024 Honor Awards for Washington Architecture. Here are some of this year’s highlights:
- We encourage submitters to celebrate the people and places that shape their projects by showcasing the role of all collaborators that contribute to the vision and impact of these projects.
- You’ll see that we’ve updated the information requested for the Energy, Carbon, and Water measures in the 2024 Common App for Design Excellence as AIA Seattle continues to advocate for and demonstrate solutions to climate change. All BUILT submitters are required to complete the Common App to the best of their ability and convey their approach to sustainable design.
- With your feedback, we’ve revamped our approach to Project Tours as part of the Jury Process. Read the Project Tour Guidelines to learn more!
- We invite you to join colleagues to celebrate outstanding design and strengthen our amazing community. This year’s Live Event is on Monday, November 4 at Town Hall Seattle, and we can’t wait to start the party at 5:30pm!
Every project is part of a larger interconnected system and provides an opportunity to enhance and improve the whole. As architects, we occupy a unique and powerful position in this effort, shaping the future of our region and participating in the evolution of our communities through the process of design.
On behalf of the Honor Awards Committee and AIA Seattle, we invite you to consider how your project moves us in the direction of designing a vibrant future. Download the 2024 Call for Submissions + Guidelines.
