Eligibility
The size and location of a project will in no way limit its eligibility. AIA COF WMR State component AIA members may separately submit as many projects for consideration as they wish. Projects must be submitted by an AIA COF WMR State component AIA member. For projects in which an AIA member has joint ventured or associated with an Author of Design Architect, the member must be the Architect-of-Record. If that firm has been dissolved or its name has been changed, an individual or successor firm may enter projects in the name of the firm in effect at the time the project was executed. Where responsibility for a project is shared, all participants who substantially contributed to the work must be appropriately credited.
CATEGORIES
DISTINGUISHED ARCHITECTURE SUBMISSIONS (Built, Unbuilt) should clearly demonstrate process and accomplishment through a combination of text, diagrams, drawings, photographs and other graphic materials and address the issues outlined in the Jury Criteria.
25 YEAR AWARD SUBMISSIONS should clearly demonstrate the relevance and impact of the project, both when originally completed, and as it continues to be a vital part of the built environment today.
SILVER MEDAL - The AIA COF WMR Silver Medal recognizes an individual who has made significant contributions to the Institute, the profession, the community, and the citizens of the American Institute of Architects' College of Fellows Western Mountain Region and who has transcended local boundaries in making these contributions.
