The Architectural League Prize is an annual competition, series of lectures, and exhibition organised by the Architectural League and its Young Architects and Designers Committee. The League Prize was established to recognise specific works of high quality and to encourage the exchange of ideas among young people who might otherwise not have a forum.
Participants in the program are chosen through a portfolio competition that is juried by distinguished architects, artists and critics, and the Young Architects and Designers Committee. The committee, a group selected each year from past winners of the League Prize, is responsible for developing the program?s theme and selecting competition jurors. Open to designers ten years or less out of school, the competition draws entrants from around North America. The lecture series and exhibition by winners of the competition provide a lively public forum for the discussion of their work and ideas.
