Eligibility
AIA Seattle members, Member Firms, and Non-members are invited to submit innovative residential design solutions from across the Puget Sound Region to be highlighted in Shelter, a bi-monthly section in Seattle magazine.
To reflect the homes within the Puget Sound Region that AIA Seattle member firms and architects serve, the Home of Distinction program seeks submissions of projects for homes of all scales and types. Projects that were completed in the last five years will be considered for publication, including designs for new or renovated homes of all architectural styles, single rooms, outdoor spaces, and even furniture, hardware, or design objects.
Based on the significant lead time required for print publication, AIA Seattle is seeking submissions by July 30, 2021 for publication in the January /March / May 2022 issues of Seattle magazine.
Why Submit?
- Each selected residential design will be presented as a “Home of Distinction” in Shelter, as well as in an article and image gallery on seattlemag.com.
- Seattle magazine will publish resources to connect its readers and website visitors with the architects behind the designs.
- Each Home of Distinction will be featured on the AIA Seattle website and social media platforms.
- Even homes that aren’t selected as Homes of Distinction are of interest to the magazine for other articles and potential for publication as well.
