…And the Winner is…

The jury is completing deliberations and the winners of the 2024 Oregon Architecture Awards will soon know their projects have been selected to exemplify design excellence in the state of Oregon. These prestigious honors are an integral part of our AIA Oregon Social Justice Action Plan – to promote and celebrate all of our firms – small, large, women and minority-owned businesses – by amplifying stories in our program and by applying an intentional DEI lens to the jury composition itself. We hope that this elevates the conversation of impactful, thoughtful, and equitable design in the state of Oregon year after year.

We will also let entrants who were not successful know about their opportunity to schedule a debriefing that often gives constructive jury feedback and could help you create a subsequently successful submission next year. This is accomplished in a 15–30-minute phone call or zoom that you’ll easily be able to schedule from a bookings link in the email you’ll receive. If you’ve not received this communication by October 31, please feel free to contact us.

Everyone who entered this year will also receive a survey about the process that will help us further refine the way we collect entries and make sure the programs we foster for design celebration are impactful, equitable, and most importantly, accessible to everyone who wants to participate. We’d like to know how your experience was and hear suggestions on how to elevate our experience for everyone who participates. When you see the survey make sure you respond – because you’ll be entered to win two tickets to the Oregon Architecture Awards Gala at the Portland Art Museum on November 14. It won’t be the same without you there!
