Celebrating Design Excellence

Awards for Architectural Distinction

2026 Submissions June 29, 2026 - August 31, 2026

Welcome to the AIA Atlanta Awards for Architectural Distinction!

From innovative public buildings to commercial campuses and culturally rooted homes, our flagship awards program recognizes built projects that set the standard for excellence, educate the public about high-quality design, and highlight architects as innovative problem-solvers.

Submissions are open for projects located around the world, designed by Georgia architects, as well as those located in Georgia by architects from anywhere in the United States.

Winners are recognized at Build Something Great, the chapter’s signature awards celebration hosted each November.

Submissions will open in June 2026.
