  Enter the Chicago Atheneum’s American Architecture Awards Competition
Submissions are due February 1, 2007, for the tenth annual “American Architecture Awards®, organized by the Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design in association with Metropolitan Arts Press Ltd. to honor new architecture designed in the U.S. The 2007 awards program considers for awards new corporate headquarters, skyscrapers, institutions, sports and transportation facilities, interiors, urban planning projects, airports, and residences in the U.S. or abroad by an U.S. architecture firm—both built and unbuilt projects alike—in which designs are completed as of January 1, 2005. International firms headquartered outside the U.S. are eligible to submit projects built only in the U.S. This year’s jury for awards takes place in Moscow, Russia, under the auspices of the Union of Architects of Russia, with noted European architects and architecture journalists serving on the jury. For more information, to see last year’s winners, or to obtain entry forms, visit the Chicago Athenaeum’s Web site.
