25-Year Award Award

In honor of the 25th Anniversary of the AIANH Excellence in Architeccture Design Awards Program, we are instituting a special 25-year Award, which will be held every five years. This award recognizes architectural design of enduring significance on a project that has stood the test of time for 25 to 35 years. The project must have been designed by an architect licensed in the state of New Hampshire at the time of the project's completion. Projects must have been completed between 1974 and 1984 and have contributed meaningfully to the New Hampshire built environment. Individuals may submit projects of their own design or designed by others.

Eligibility

• Anyone may nominate a project for the 25-Year Award.
• The award is open to architectural projects of all classifications and may be one building or a related group of buildings forming a single project.
• The project must be located in New Hampshire, must have been completed between 1974 and 1984, and must have been designed by an architect licensed in New Hampshire at the time of the project's completion.
• The project must be standing in a substantially completed form and in good condition.
• The project should still carry out the original program. Change of use is permitted when it has not basically altered original intent.
• The project must have excellence in function – in the distinguished execution of its original program and in the creative aspects of its statement by today's standards. Building and site together should be examined. Any alteration to the immediate context shall be taken into consideration.
