The program invites projects anywhere in the world, with previous submissions spanning from North Carolina’s Nantahala National Forest to the mountains of Mexico.

RHDA recognizes projects that establish a standard of excellence, educate the public on the value of good design, and highlight architects as problem-solvers. In addition to receiving industry recognition, submitting work can generate new business and inspire continued excellence in the profession.

The annual AIA Atlanta Honor Awards recognize exemplary leadership and service throughout the chapter, profession, and greater community. Nominations open to individuals, organizations, and firms in September, with eligibility criteria varying by category.
