2021 AIA Idaho Design Awards 

The AIA Idaho Design Awards program is designed to encourage excellence in architecture, to elevate the public consciousness of great design and commitment to service, which contributes to the advancement of the profession and the built environment. The program will recognize outstanding achievements in architecture and design of Idaho individuals, firms and project teams. The submissions open on June 1, 2021 and end on August 13th, 2021, 5 PM MST.
