2024 AIA KY Honor Awards: Call for Submissions

Your copy should address 3 key questions: Who am I writing for (audience)? Why should they care (benefit)? What do I want them to do (call-to-action)?

Create a great offer by adding words like "free," "personalized," "complimentary," or "customized." A sense of urgency often helps readers take action, so consider inserting phrases like "for a limited time only" or "only 7 remaining!"

2024 Home Tour - Call for Entries

Submissions to the Home Tour are Open!

The project can be a NEW-BUILD custom home built within the last 10 years OR a RENOVATION completed in the last 10 years. It could also be a home PREVIOUSLY FEATURED on the Home Tour prior to 2014!

The homes need to be located in Kentucky and designed by a registered Architect (registration can be either local or national). The homes can also be completed or receiving finishing touches by fall of 2024.

Do you have a home for the tour or know of a good lead? Please email photos of your submission, a short description of the house and the name of the Architect and their contact details to: Taisa Peree-Sehic at tpereesehic.aia@gmail.com
