AIA Atlanta Awards for Architectural Distinction 2026

AIA Atlanta announces its 2026 design award winners across 19 categories at the Build Something Great gala at the Buckhead Theatre, open to members and the public

Location: Buckhead Theatre, Atlanta

Date: 14 November 2026

The Awards for Architectural Distinction are AIA Atlanta’s annual design awards, announced at the chapter’s Build Something Great gala. The 2026 gala is on Saturday 14 November at the Buckhead Theatre in Atlanta. The evening is open to members and the public, and brings together the architects, interior designers and clients behind the year’s entered projects.

This year’s programme has 19 award categories across four design fields, Commercial, Hospitality, Institutional and Residential. Winners are announced on the night from the entries submitted between 29 June and 31 August 2026. Ticket details and timings for the evening are published through AIA Atlanta, and the chapter has held the gala at the same Buckhead venue in 2024 and 2025.

For Atlanta architects, the awards are the clearest annual measure of which local practices are producing the strongest work in each sector. The gala has also become the chapter’s main social night of the year, drawing clients and consultants as well as members.
