Entries are welcomed and encouraged from architects, landscape architects, designers, artists, and consultants. This year's program includes the following categories:

All architects licensed in the U.S. and abroad are eligible to submit entries regardless of project location (worldwide), project size, budget or style. All projects must be completed since January 2003.

An entry must have been designed by an architect or landscape architect registered per local regulation at the time of project completion. “Completion” is synonymous with “substantial completion” as defined in AIA documents governing project construction. All entries should be submitted by either the design architect or the architect of record – when the submitting firm is not the sole author all other participants contributing to the design of the project must be given credit as part of the submission, regardless of discipline.

For multi-building projects, the architect submitting the project (or portion thereof) shall offer detailed evidence of authorship of each project portion submitted to this program.

Project authorship will remain concealed throughout jury deliberations. If authorship is revealed on any portion of the submission including photos, plans, CDs, or narrative the entry will be disqualified.

Each entry in this Awards program is judged for the success with which the project has met its individual requirements or program. Entries are weighed individually, not competitively.

1. Project Description
   A Project Description Form must be submitted with binder.
2. Photographs
   All photographs should be 8 x 10 or 8.5 x 11.5 color glossy prints. Do not submit color photocopies of magazine reprints. Minimum photographs shall include the following (exceeding the minimum is allowed):

• Exterior
• One photograph showing each exposed side of the building or environment.
• One photograph showing the immediate context of the building or environment (may be omitted if the project's relationship to its environs is defined clearly in other prints).
• For a group of buildings, one photograph to illustrate the concept including relationship to environment. For projects involving renovations or restorations, a before and after photograph of each altered (exposed) exterior side or surface (unless evidence of "before" is not available).

4. Drawings

Plans can be drawn at any scale in any medium, but scale and north arrow must be indicated graphically. All plans must be on 8.5 x 11 sheets placed in the binder’s transparent window sleeves. Oversized or folded plans will be discarded without consideration.

This category is open to architects, landscape architects, designers, design consultants, and artists. Provide all information as specified under Religious Architecture category except interior photos, substitute site plans for floor plans, etc. Total number of photos should equal that of the total for Religious Architecture entries.

Architects, liturgical consultants, and interior designers licensed as appropriate in the U.S. and abroad are eligible to submit entries regardless of project location (worldwide), project size, budget, or style. New construction, renovations and restorations are eligible. An entry may be any building interior project completed since January 2003 that supports a religious purpose.

The architect of record, design architect, liturgical designer, or interior designer for the project may make submission with consent of all other parties on the project. When an entrant is not the sole author of the project, all other participants contributing to the design of the project must be given credit as part of the submission regardless of professional discipline.

Project authorship will remain concealed throughout jury deliberations. If authorship is revealed on any portion of the submission including photos, plans, CDs, or narrative the entry will be disqualified.

Entries will be judged on originality of design and concept and appropriateness for sacred spaces. Works will be judged in the context of their purpose.
