2016 CALL FOR ENTRIES        
Emerging Architects Excellence in Design

AIA Nebraska invites all AIAS and Associate AIA members to submit their unbuilt and architectural detail work for the 2016 Emerging Architects Excellence in Design.   

Emerging Architects Excellence in Design is an annual design awards program for AIAS and Associate AIA members of Nebraska. The program exists to recognize the young designers whose work may not be recognized by other design award competitions. 

Categories

Unbuilt Design
Architectural design work that, to date remains unbuilt. Unbuilt architectural designs of any project type are eligible, including purely theoretical projects and unbuilt client – sponsored projects, such as buildings, interiors, transportation infrastructure, and monuments.

Architectural Detail
Encourage and recognize architectural detail or design concept in use of a particular material, detail, or building technology. Detail may stand alone or reinforce an overall building concept in an exceptional manner.

• Entrants must be an AIA or AIAS Nebraska member.
• Entrants may submit work done independently, as a student, employee, or educator.
• Group projects may be submitted, but only if every member of the group meets all of the eligibility requirements.
• If a project is submitted for the AIA Nebraska Excellence in Design Awards it is not eligible for the Emerging Architects Excellence in Design Awards.
• Meant to recognize young designers, not companies. Entries that are submitted under company names will NOT be considered.
