RSUA Design Awards Now Open

The Royal Society of Architects (RSUA) has called for submissions to the RSUA Design Awards 2024.

The Awards promote excellence in the design of our built environment with the aim of making Northern Ireland a better place for everyone.

All project entries will be considered for a RSUA Design Award, winning entries will be in the running to win Northern Ireland's building of the year award, the Liam McCormick prize.


RSUA has teamed up with RIBA which means that RSUA Awards double up as the RIBA Northern Ireland Awards. Winning an RSUA Award is the first step to being considered for a UK-wide RIBA Award.

The judges may also give the following discretionary awards:

• Conservation Award

• Project Architect of the Year

• Client of the Year

• Small Project of the Year

• Sustainability Award

• House of the Year

• Housing Development of the Year
