The CIAAD Award recognise the most significant contributions to the world of architecture and design. Based on a broad criterion we seek to identify the individuals who are driving creativity and change in our industry.
CIAAD AWARD FOR EXCELLENCE
The CIAAD Award for Excellence is presented annually and is determined by a jury comprising of CIAAD Advisory Board representatives and esteemed CIAAD members.
The Award is presented in two categories, being professional and student, and seeks to recognise the following:
Top performing professional - female
Top performing professional - male
Top performing student- female
Top performing student - male

CIAAD appreciates that the world of architecture and design is unisex and delivers opportunities equally to men and women, however CIAAD also recognises and appreciates that the breadth of contribution is often achieved in different ways.
The criteria for success is to demonstrate to the jury how the individual, company or institution has adopted innovative and imaginative thinking, consideration of all users, material and technological advancements, world-first initiatives or elements, and the ability to make the world a better place for their contribution.
