AIA Western Massachusetts is proud to organize and host the 2026 New England Architecture Awards.
Registration opens MAY 15, 2026.
The American Institute of Architects (AIA) has a long tradition of recognizing individuals and organizations for their outstanding achievements in support of the profession of architecture and the AIA. The Annual New England Architecture Awards celebrate architecture by New England architects anywhere in the world, and architecture by other architects within the New England region.
We want to celebrate small to large firms and projects of all sizes, types, and budgets. Entries will be judged on their own merit, judged individually, not in competition with each other. The jury will determine the extent to which design excellence is informed through the entrant’s presentation, explanation of functional aspects, and contextual, sustainable, social, cost-effectiveness, aesthetic, or other defined characteristics.
Non-technical questions about awards can be addressed to Lorin Starr, WMAIA Executive Director, via email. If you encounter technical difficulty with your awards submission, please contact Submittable Tech Support at (855) 467-8264, x2 or via email
