The annual OAA Awards program was established in 1988 and offers Ontario architects, students and interns an opportunity to showcase their best work and increase public appreciation of the services provided by the architectural profession.
The Awards highlights the best in architectural design and innovation by Ontario Architects. Winners of the OAA Awards include both emerging talent and some of the provinces' most established architecture practices. Award recipients are honoured at the annual Celebration of Excellence Awards Ceremony that takes place in May.
As the OAA is now accepting Entries for the 2017 OAA Awards, this mini-blOAAg series on “Spotlight on OAA Awards” will highlight the various categories of awards given by the OAA annually.
Let us celebrate the outstanding contribution of architects whose body of work reflects a lasting legacy of excellence and innovation. The past recipients of the OAA Lifetime Design Achievement Award were recognized for their career-long commitment to architectural design excellence. But beyond that, they are known to inspire, and push architectural concepts forward.
This is a chance for OAA members to nominate an OAA architect, who deserves to be recognized for their life-long dedication to advocating, practicing, and pushing design excellence in architecture.
Requirements for submitting a nomination are:
1 - A letter of recommendation – submitted by nominator and seconded (both must by OAA members)
2 - Citation or CV outlining nominee’s accomplishments
