About the event

Entries will be accepted in electronic format, along with one project display board. A PowerPoint template has been designed with simple instructions and is easy to use. The format allows for a brief program statement and project summary and accepts digital images to visually describe the work. Each firm will receive the Excellence in Design Award Submittal format via email after they register their project(s).

The following is a description of the PowerPoint format:

• Slide one: A brief description of 250 words or less with statements on the program, design, concept, context, solution and cost. When referencing “context” (how the building fits within its surroundings), please be specific.

• Slide two and up: The template allows for 8 to 12 digital image files in a JPG format, a minimum 300 DPI.

•Last Slide: Project title and location (city/state) owner, architectural firm, consultants and contractor. Include firm name on this slide only. Please include the name of everyone involved with the project. List engineers, key supplires, and their email addresses.

We can send you a link to a DropBox folder so you can upload your PowerPoint and images. Or, you are welcome to provide a flash drive with a copy of the PowerPoint file. Either way, please provide 6-10 high resolution digital photographs that best represent each project for media use. These should be 160-600 DPI in JPG or PNG format.

The project display board will NOT be used by the judges. 

Clear working drawings or sketches are acceptable and encouraged. One 20” x 30” foam illustration board oriented vertically, containing the following is required:

- Project title and location, owner, architectural firm, consultants and contractor.

- A 250 word project description as included in the electronic format.

- Three to six color prints from entry images, at least one interior and one exterior.

- Please choose one high resolution photo from each submission (jpg format) should be designated for publication and have a written release from the photographer giving AIA Alabama permission to use the photo in printed and electronic material, should the project or image be chosen for the website or other usage. Photos and descriptions may be used in our social media efforts. If you do NOT want your projects shared on social media, please let us know.
