Local Architecture Awards
Local Architecture Awards
Local Architecture Awards honour the best new architecture in each of Te Kāhui Whaihanga’s eight regional branches.
The Local Architecture Awards honour quality new architecture at a community level. They are run by the eight branches of the New Zealand Institute of Architects, entries close in February and winners are celebrated at eight Local Awards functions throughout the country from May to June. Each year more than 400 entries are received and about 150 of these are shortlisted for the New Zealand Awards. Winning projects receive a Local Architecture Award. Projects may also receive a Resene Colour Award to recognise the powerful impact of colour in design decisions. Winners at the Local Architecture Awards level may be considered for further honours at a national level.
