Honorary Membership

AIA Honorary Membership is open to an individual, or two individuals who have created one body of work, who is otherwise ineligible for AIA Membership.

Prospective candidates should contact AIA Member Services to confirm they are ineligible within existing membership categories before applying. 

Current employees at AIA national headquarters and/or an AIA component are eligible after ten (10) cumulative years of employment. The AIA Secretary may waive this requirement if a staff member is otherwise eligible. 

Nomination

Candidates are welcome to proactively secure an eligible nominator in order to self-apply. Nominators are welcome to identify and put forward candidates. Nominators putting forward a candidate(s) that otherwise would not self-apply should coordinate closely with that individual to ensure the candidate is fully willing and able to participate in all application proceedings within the required formats and timelines. 

Members of the AIA Board of Directors, Strategic Council, AIA components, or Knowledge Communities may submit nominations.

Nominator responsibilities

All individuals acting on behalf of a candidate nominator must affirm that neither they nor their firm / organization employs unpaid intern architects, including working students. 

All nominators are required to submit a one-page letter of recommendation for the candidate. For more information on the requirements for this application component please access the online submission portal once the program is accepting materials.

Fee: There is no fee for this program.

2026 Deadline

Submissions are due by 5pm ET on Thursday, August 28, 2025. All materials must be submitted via the online application portal (i.e., cannot be accepted via email, phone, shared online drive, fax, post, etc.) by the prescribed deadline(s): deadline extension or exception requests will not be granted. Applicants and interested parties are encouraged to seek award assistance well in advance of application deadlines to minimize the risk for ineligibility and/or application noncompliance rendering the entry removed from review.      

Formatting requirements

For information on templates for required uploaded forms (e.g., Image Release Form, Application Release Form, Copyright Information File), and information on format of portfolio document (e.g., page size / orientation standards), or addressing letters of recommendation, please visit the AIA Awards FAQs webpage. 

Applications that do not conform to the program's formatting requirements for uploaded materials (e.g., required forms, letters of reference, and portfolio documents) are subject to automatic disqualification. AIA does not accept release forms with altered terms. 

Application components
Extensive information on the materials required to submit an application is housed in the AIA online application portal. Please reference the information in this portal when the program is receiving materials for the 2026 season. 

Review criteria

• Candidates are evaluated based on how their contributions represent distinguished service to the profession and allied disciplines.
• The ripple effect: Candidates are asked to demonstrate the "ripple effect" they have had on the profession. This is shorthand for your impact beyond the day-to-day work of your practice or outside your community. The ripple effect could be demonstrated by speaking, publications, mentoring, service to the profession, geographic impact, or legacy through others.
• AIA values: Throughout the submission, applicants are encouraged to highlight any aspects of the candidate’s work or life experience that may have reflected contributions or sensitivity concerning areas of special interest to AIA, its members, and the architecture profession, including but not limited to the Public Policies and Position Statements of the AIA. These might include such areas as diversity, sustainability, or the mentoring of emerging professionals, to the degree the candidate has had the opportunity to address them, or as these topics may enhance the presentation.
• AIA Framework for Design Excellence: While Honorary Membership submissions are not required to fit comprehensively within the framework principles, applicants are strongly encouraged to consider your submission materials in this context. For additional information visit the AIA Framework for Design Excellence.
