The Common Application is based on the AIA’s Framework for Design Excellence which seeks to inform progress toward a zero-carbon, equitable, resilient, and healthy built environment. These are to be thoughtfully considered by designer and client at the initiation of every project and incorporated into the work as appropriate to the project scope. The Framework is intended to be accessible and relevant for every architect, every client, and every project, regardless of size, typology, or aspiration.

Join us for an enlightening webinar where we delve into the Common Application, a vital tool in the Design Awards process adopted by AIA Chapters nationwide. Our session will demystify the Common App and focus on common pitfalls and mistakes encountered by submitters. Additionally, the presenters will cover the new 2025 updates.

Whether you’re a seasoned participant or new to the process, our webinar aims to equip you with the knowledge and insights necessary to navigate the Common App effectively. From understanding its structure to optimizing your submissions, our panel of experts is here to assist. Don’t miss this opportunity to enhance your understanding and elevate your submissions for Design Awards.
