The countdown is on. This Thursday 20th February is the end of the call for entries to the RSUA Design Awards 2020 and while you have some extra time to complete, it’s not much.  If you haven’t entered your much-loved project, do it now.  Don’t miss out.

RSUA / RIBA

This is the third year of the alignment between the RSUA and RIBA awards.  Our partnership with RIBA means that RSUA Awards will double up as the RIBA Northern Ireland Awards. Winning an RSUA Award is now the first step to being considered for a UK-wide RIBA Award.

Award Categories

When entering the Awards this year you don’t have to enter your project into a specific category. Regardless of project type or value, all entries will be considered for a headline award simply called an RSUA Design Award 2020.

Projects that win an RSUA Design Award 2020 will be in the running to win the Liam McCormick Prize – Northern Ireland’s building of the year and will be considered for a RIBA National Award. The judges may also give the following discretionary awards:

  • Conservation Award
  • Project Architect of the Year
  • Client of the Year
  • Small Project of the Year
  • Sustainability Award
  • House of the Year
  • Housing Development of the Year
  • Integration of Art Award
  • Living Places Award

Eligibility

To be eligible for an RSUA Design Award 2020 projects must be in Northern Ireland and have been completed between 1st November 2017 and 1st February 2020.

Entry fees

The entry fee for small projects can be as low as £95 but for projects over £20m it can be as high as £710. Full details can be found via the link to enter the awards below.
