Rising Star in Architecture

This category recognises the emerging architect that has made a significant contribution to the advancement of their organisation or the sector as a whole.

If you have been a registered architect for 10 years or less by the submission deadline date, then you are eligible.

The architect can be nominated by themselves or by a third party, but please ensure you have their permission to do so.
