Enter the 2020 ALA Design Awards Program. Showcase your Talent - Give your Projects the Professional Recognition they Deserve. 

The ALA Design Awards Program is our annual showcase of the power of design by our members. Winners are highlighted in the Winter issue of "Licensed Architect" magazine, press releases and on social media.

Projects of all sizes and architectural elements are encouraged to enter. 
You may re-submit previous projects that have not won an ALA award. Judging is overall, not by category.


NEW in 2020... Online Submission of Projects

ALA will be using Award Force, a secure, online registration and review software platform. All entries will be completed online. You will recieve a set-up link in your email confirmation. You can register your account and password when ready to start your entry information. You may return to your submission/s once you register your account.

Due to uncertainties related to the COVID-19 situation, ALA will not hold a Design Awards Celebration Dinner.  Instead a recorded video or slideshow will be available for viewing.  Certificates will be mailed to each award winning firm in early November.  ALA will publish the awards in the Winter Issue of Licensed Architect magazine, on the website ALAtoday.org and through press and social media.
