The Virginia Society’s Awards for Excellence in Architecture presented by IMAGINiT Technologies recognize outstanding design, built and unbuilt, from the past seven years. Also known as the Design Awards, the program is juried by a team of esteemed practitioners. No specific number of awards is set, and the program is open to all categories of building as well as interiors projects.

For 2012 there are two new categories in the Awards for Excellence—Contextual Design and Residential Design—bringing the number of categories to five (the other three being General Design, Historic Preservation, and Residential Design). More details are available here.

Entries are being accepted through July 13, 2012.

Awards certificates are presented each November at Architecture Exchange East, the Virginia Society’s annual conference. They are also honored during the Visions for Architecture gala, in Inform Magazine, and serve as the subject of an annual exhibition at the Virginia Center for Architecture.

The 2012 Design Awards presented by IMAGINiT Technologies are sponsored by IMAGINiT Technologies, a Rand Worldwide Company, Hanbury Evans Wright Vlattas + Company;  SKANSKA USA;  Haynes Whaley Associates, Inc.; and Vanderweil Engineers, LLP.
