2022 Forge Prize: Calling all U.S.-based emerging architects!

The Forge Prize is seeking visions of the future from U.S.-based architects who are either pursuing licensure or have been licensed for less than 10 years.

At stake: a huge industry spotlight and up to $15,000! There is no fee to enter, and designs are due by October 31, 2021.

The American Institute of Steel Construction is looking for designs that embrace steel as a primary structural component and capitalize on steel’s ability to increase project’s speed.

The Forge Prize is a unique opportunity to experiment with a conceptual design without limit to scope or complexity–the sky’s the limit, and the industry is paying attention. It’s also your chance to work directly with experts in steel fabrication and the 2021 Forge Prize jury to explore the role of steel in the creative design process.

Three finalists will each win $5,000 and work with a steel fabricator before presenting their ideas to the judges–streamed live on YouTube. The winner will receive the $10,000 grand prize and an invitation to present before an audience of the industry’s best minds at the Architecture in Steel conference, March 23-25, 2022 in Denver!
