As part of the festivities, each team gives prizes to the team that comes in behind it in the overall tally. Although they did not win, in a stroke of poetic justice, team AIANY beat Robert A.M. Stern Architect’s team — the team that beat them last year. Rick Bell, FAIA, AIANY Executive Director, presented RAMSA with a flying eagle trophy.
