2025 AAA Design Awards

Friday 3rd October - 5-8PM

Te Rimutahi - Ponsonby

(corner of Ponsonby Road and Oneill Street)

For over 40 years, the AAA awards have been a mainstay in the architectural community’s calendar. Each year the association receives hundreds of entries that are judged anonymously.

Our awards are always open to all of New Zealand - not just Architects and students.

This year, we have rejuvenated our categories which are open to amateurs, students and professionals:
- Craft Object Award
- Peripheral Media Award
- Unbuilt Design Award
- Emerging Practice Award

Our categories have changed, but the student prizes are still here.
