Following the AIA definition of a 'Young Architect', the competition is open to architects who have been registered for 10 years or less, intern architects, and firms whose principal owners meet the above criteria.
Emerging Voices has established a record of accomplishment among architects in Atlanta as the singular, local competition that identifies a bright new spot on the metropolitan design scene.
