The Architectural League Prize[edit]
The Architectural League Prizeis one of North America’s most prestigious awards for young architects and designers. The Prize, established in 1981 and known as the Young Architects Forum from 1981 to 2009, recognizes exemplary and provocative work by young practitioners and provides a public forum for the exchange of their ideas. Each year The Architectural League and the Young Architects + Designers Committee (a group selected each year from past winners of the League Prize) organize a themed portfolio competition. Six winners, who must be ten years or less out of school, are then invited to present their work in a variety of public fora, including lectures, an exhibition, and on the League’s website.[3]
