RAIC: Call for Submissions opens for 2024 Governor General’s Medals in Architecture

Presented every two years, up to 12 medals are awarded to celebrate outstanding design in recently completed built projects – big or small – by Canadian architects. The 2024 program, updated this season to reflect the critical values of both organizations, continues a tradition initiated by the Massey Medals in 1950. It provides an important source of understanding of the nature of Canadian architecture and the regional, cultural and historic forces expressed in the built environment.

The deadline to submit a project for consideration is December 7, 2023, at 10:00 p.m. ET. Applicants must submit their work through the online RAIC awards platform.

To learn more about the Terms of Reference, review updated eligibility and submission requirements, and see past recipients, please visit the Governor General’s Medals in Architecture page on the RAIC website.
