Awards Credit
AIA Minnesota and ASID have recently collaborated to ensure our awards entry process more accurately recognizes the contribution of project partners, aids jurors in reviewing, assists editors and writers of articles covering residential awards and projects. Our goal in this effort is to help the public better understand the interactive roles of architects, interior designers, builders and all related professionals in the process of creating projects.

It is structured so that the chairs of the subcommittees are all on the steering committee to make informed decisions on behalf of all committee members.
