Welcome to the 2018 International Region Awards Submission Form
Deadline September 10, 2018 7AM

Eligibility

  1. All Architect members of the Institute who are assigned to the AIA International Region as their primary Region are eligible to submit entries for projects located anywhere in the world. (Note: members of the International Region include full members of one of the International Chapters (AIA UK; AIA CE; AIA HK; AIA JP; AIA ME; AIA SH and AIA CA), and "unassigned" members of the International Region).
  2. All Architect members who are non-local members of an International Chapter may submit projects only within the territory of that same International Chapter (for example a non-local member of AIA HK who is currently residing outside of the Hong Kong Chapter's assigned territory but is paying non-local dues and is in good standing is eligible to submit entries for projects located ONLY within Hong Kong, China, or the Asia-Pacific Region; the same would be true for AIA UK; AIA CE; AIA JP; AIA ME and AIA SH and AIA CA).
  3. All Associate members in good standing of the AIA International Region are eligible to submit entries for projects located anywhere in the world for 'Urban Design.' (Note: Associate members include International Associate AIA members; Associate AIA members and Honorary FAIA members in good standing with the Institute and their local chapters).
  4. All Architect and Associate members in good standing of the AIA International Region are eligible to submit entries for projects located internationally (outside of the USA) for the 'Open International' category.
  5. Built and Unbuilt work must have been completed since January 1, 2013.
  6. The AIA International Region member submitting the project must have been an AIA member in good standing at the time the design of the submitted project was undertaken.
  7. The AIA International Regional member submitting the project must be the primary author of the design submitted. When one Architect is not the sole author of the design, all other participants contributing substantially to the design must be given credit as part of the submission.
  8. Projects designed by joint venture or associated architects should be submitted by one member only; credit for all design participants is to be noted in the entry form under Collaborative Acknowledgements.
  9. All entries that meet the requirements of their respective categories are eligible regardless of size, budget, style, location or building type.
  10. Projects previously honored with an award from another Region of the Institute are NOT eligible for submission. Projects may NOT be submitted to more than one AIA Region simultaneously. Projects which have received a local Chapter Award (specifically from AIA UK, AIA CE, AIA HK, AIA JP, AIA ME or AIA SH) or which have received a National Award, are eligible for submission to the International Region 2018 Awards Program.
  11. Work by architects or design firms serving as jurors for current year (2018) awards are ineligible.
  12. The AIA International Region reserves the right to determine the eligibility of all submissions.
  13. See ELIGIBILITY MATRIX for clarification
  14. Note: ‘Unbuilt' Category has eligibility criteria equivalent to those for the Architecture and Interior Architecture Categories
