The AIA Film Challenge: A Blueprint for Better, calls all creators, filmmakers, and architects to shine a light on how architecture can lead to a better future.

Participants in the film challenge should produce, shoot and edit a three to five-minute documentary to tell a story about architects working with civic and community leaders to make a positive impact on their cities and towns.  

Among other prizes, participants will have the chance to win a $5,000 grand prize that includes distribution of the film through a multitude of channels, including screenings at the Architecture and Design Film Festival on Oct. 16 in New York in addition to travel and accommodations.
