Founded in 1989, the RIAI Awards are Ireland’s premier architecture awards. They recognise the quality of current work by RIAI Members at home and abroad and create awareness of the contribution that architecture makes to society for everyone’s benefit.

The RIAI Awards are given annually to acknowledge excellence in design and delivery of buildings practically completed in the previous year. The Awards are organised across categories to recognise the wide-ranging contribution that Architects make across all building types, infrastructure and across all scales. Each completed project is unique, responding to a given set of challenges and opportunities.

As part of the RIAI’s ongoing development of our website and digital systems, we have created a new online awards submission platform.

We have put together some guidance to make your awards entry as smooth as possible. Please read the Submission Guidelines.
