Launched in 2014, this competition promotes important business fundamentals in small to mid-sized architectural practices.
Are you a leader of a small architecture firm interested in planning for the future of your business?
This unique competition recognizes small architecture firms that have invested time and resources in effective planning for their business. Over $5,000 in cash and prizes are awarded to the winner, including paid travel and lodging to the 2020 AIA Conference on Architecture in Los Angeles. Finalists have a unique opportunity to interact with a jury of industry leaders. There is no fee to enter and all submissions are confidential.
