AIA PUERTO RICO HONOR AWARDS GUIDELINES 1. The purpose of the AIA Awards is to recognize exemplary architectural activity that can inform general architectural practice, establish a standard of excellence against which architects can measure their own performance, and inform the expectations of non-architects for architecture and architectural practice and their potential usefulness and value. Only active AIA, AIA Associate, and AIAS members of the PR Chapter who are up-to-date on their membership fees by the Honor Awards entry due date can participate. In order to participate in a group submission all participants in the group project need to be members of the AIA PR Chapter or AIAS PR Chapters. By submitting an AIA Award entry, entrants confirm that there is no existing conflict of interest between the project submitted and members of the jury. The jury Chair, in consultation with the Awards Director, reserves the right to rule a submission ineligible. Verbal or written communication by entrants with members of the Awards jury regarding an entry is inappropriate at any time from the announcement and invitation to the awards through the conclusion of the jury meetings. Such communication will result in disqualification of entries. Any project that credits any AIA Puerto Rico Honor Awards jury members, AIA Puerto Rico Board of Directors member, Appointed Awards Committee member or their firm as architect, associate architect, consultant, or client is ineligible and will be disqualified if submitted. Potential jury members must disclose to the AIA Board of Directors any association or professional venture with any local architect or architectural firm(s) before accepting a jury position. Any association disclosed will be grounds for disqualification of said jury member. The AIA Board of Directors will reserve the right to appoint a new member for the jury. Project authorship will remain concealed throughout the deliberations of the jury. If the authorship is revealed on any of the photos, plans, digital images, narrative, or supplemental materials, the entry will be disqualified. The Board of Directors will assign a number to each participants entry, and will maintain a list of all participants in full concealment throughout the process. The participants list will only be used by the AIA Board of Directors or the appointed committee in charge of the Honor Awards Procedure.
