The AIA New York Chapter Design Awards Committee (DAC) organizes the Chapter's design awards program for three categories of projects: Architecture, Interior Architecture, and Projects. The committee hosts a design awards symposium as well as an awards banquet. As part of its work, the group solicits, organizes and reviews projects from New York City practitioners, selects nationally and internationally recognized moderators and jurors, creates transcriptions of the jury reviews and symposium, and organizes the award event.

The Design Awards Committee also programs a Web-based exhibition, which features the winning projects and firms, and also includes a record of every project entered into the awards program. The exhibition is now available on this Web site, with links to all the firms that submitted projects to the awards program. Click here to visit this area of our website.
