Each year, AIA Eugene, in collaboration with the Willamette Valley Section of the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA), sponsors the People’s Choice Awards for Architecture. These awards aim to educate and inspire our fellow citizens by showcasing architecture, interiors, and landscape architecture projects created within the AIA Eugene Section area by AIA or ASLA members. The program demonstrates to the public the role of the architectural profession in enhancing the built environment by showcasing the talents of AIA Eugene and ASLA members. This year’s is the 31st edition of the venerable and popular program.
The “Colleague’s Choice” vote is an adjunct to the People’s Choice Awards and meant to be a fun way for our AIA-SWO and ASLA members to weigh in on the question of which of their peers’ projects are most worthy of recognition.
As the current spike in cases in Lane County attests, COVID-19 is still very dangerous and continues to pose a real threat. Accordingly, all voting this year will be via AIA Oregon’s online platform (click here) and there is no onsite voting at a physical display of the entries. Everyone can vote for their favorite designs, one entry in each of eight categories, for a total of eight votes. If you change your mind, you can revoke your selection by going back to the project’s page and clicking the “unvote” button.
This year’s eight categories are:
- Commercial
- Public/Institutional
- Landscape
- Multi-Family Residential
- Single-Family Residential
- Unbuilt Landscape
- Unbuilt Projects
- Student/Emerging Professional
The voting deadline is October 15, so don’t wait until the last minute to cast your ballot. As a means to deliver a message about the benefits of design excellence and what design professionals provide to enhance the built environment, the People’s Choice Awards are priceless and the very best kind of publicity for AIA Eugene and ASLA. We all deserve a break from 2020’s calendar of chaos so give yourself a real treat and check out the outstanding entries in this year’s People’s Choice program!
