General
In 2015, Architectural Exhibitors will be able to exhibit their projects and will again have the opportunity to engage in an Architectural Award Competition. There will be one 2015 Southern Region Architecture Award and two Architecture Merit Awards. Firms may also choose to exhibit their projects even if not entered in the competition. All projects submitted in both the competition and exhibit will be eligible for a People's Choice Award selected by ballot majority of all conference attendees.
Winners will be announced at the School of the Future luncheon on Saturday, April 11, 2015.
