BIA Announces 2022 Brick in Architecture Awards Call for Entries
The Brick Industry Association (BIA) has opened entries for the international 2022 Brick in Architecture Awards, featuring a new category for thin brick projects.
Entries are now due by Nov. 11. As the nation’s leading architectural design competition featuring fired-clay brick, all submissions must use clay brick as the project’s primary building material. Entrants must be either an architect or designer employed by an architectural, design-build or landscaping design firm.
“The awards demonstrate why clay brick matters as an inherently sustainable material with infinite design possibilities, enduring value, superior durability, fire resistance and energy savings,” said BIA President and CEO Ray Leonhard.
Per the competition rules, eligible projects include any work of architecture completed since January 1, 2017, in which new clay brick products comprise the predominant exterior building or paving material (over 50 percent) including face or hollow brick, building brick, thin brick, paving brick, glazed brick, structural glazed facing tile, new clay brick products in special shapes and/or a combination of these.
An overall Craftsmanship Award will honor a mason or team of masons with exceptionally artful or unique installation.

1. Commercial
2. Education – K-12
3. Education - Colleges & Universities (Higher Education)*
4. Residential – Single Family
5. Residential – Multi-Family
6. Thin Brick (New for 2022)
