RAIC 2025 Annual Awards

The RAIC opens its call for submissions today for its annual awards. The RAIC Gold Medal, the Architectural Practice Award, the Emerging Architectural Practice Award, the RAIC Advocate for Architecture Award, the RAIC Architectural Journalism and Media Award and the RAIC Research & Innovation in Architecture Award are all accepting submissions. This year also marks the return of the Prix du XXe Siècle with updated Terms of Reference. These awards will also be accompanied by a call for nominations for Honorary Membership.

The RAIC annual awards are a celebration of creativity, innovation, and excellence in Canadian architecture. The awards highlight work that challenges us and changes our built environment for the better, showing the value of architecture and its positive impact on our lives. If you know of a person, project, or practice that demonstrates these qualities, the RAIC annual awards are an opportunity for them to gain national recognition. 

The deadline for submission for all 2025 annual awards is 10:00 p.m. ET on January 13, 2025. Applicants must submit their work through the online RAIC awards platform.
