All entries must be the work of a Registered Georgia Architect who lives or does work in Georgia . Submissions for the Student Project Award must be the work of either a current student in Georgia or one that has graduated in 2019. The competition is open to architectural projects of all classifications and sizes. Location of projects is not restricted. Any works submitted for consideration must have been completed and occupied between Jan 1, 2014, and Dec 31, 2019 . Projects that received a previous AIA Georgia Design Award are not eligible.

All submissions will be reviewed by a common jury of distinguished guests connected to all facets of the design profession. As projects are subject to diverse contexts, programs, budgets, and restraints, each entry is judged for the success with which the project has met its individual requirements. We have also added (3) new categories for equal project representation (residential over and under $1 million and interior architecture).

We encourage submissions that exhibit a strong definition of design excellence. Submissions may be exemplary in their typology, technical advancement, innovation, economy, sustainability, as well as other achievements.
