2015 AIA EUROPE HONORS & AWARDS CALL FOR ENTRIES

AIA UK’s sister chapter, AIA Continental Europe – the 2nd International Chapter – is launching an AIA Honors and Awards programme with submissions due by 31 July 2015. 

AIA UK Architects and International Associates who are not members of AIA Continental Europe are eligible to participate if their projects are located within the Chapter’s assigned territory.  

Although AIA Continental Europe often self-styles itself as “AIA Europe,” its assigned territory is both wider ranged and more limited.  It includes the following countries not all of which are in Europe, but is exclusive of the UK:

Albania, Andorra, Austria, Belgium, Belarus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Georgia, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Kosovo, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Macedonia, Malta, Moldavia, Monaco, Montenegro, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Serbia and Montenegro, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, Ukraine.

Unlike our own Design Awards, CE’s programme is open only to AIA members and has defined categories –

• Architectural
• Interior
• Urban and Environmental Design
• Unbuilt
• “Other” Projects.

The CE programme is also designed to recognise leadership and achievements by individuals or organisations that benefit the profession.
