2024 GSA Design Awards

Through our Public Buildings Service, we are the largest public real estate organization in the United States. Mandated to set the highest standards of excellence in design and construction, we are also regarded for our principled leadership in the built environment. The GSA Design Awards recognizes the most outstanding demonstrations of our mission, as well as projects that represent the next generation of achievement. Winning entries exemplify the contributions of architects, artists, and other creative professionals to the quality of federal civilian buildings.

The design awards program does not draw distinctions according to projects’ size or location, nor between type of ownership or delivery method. With the exceptions of On the Boards and Community Engagement entries, submissions are categorized by disciplines like landscape, preservation, and conservation; applicants may submit completed projects in multiple categories, using separate entries. On the Boards comprises GSA‐authorized concepts which are not yet realized, while Community Engagement submissions should highlight collaboration techniques and stakeholder relationships that improved a project’s outcome. Where relevant, projects must have received concept approval from the Commissioner of the Public Buildings Service within the eligible time frame.

Categories for submission are: Architecture, Art, Community Engagement, Conservation, Engineering, Landscape Architecture, Preservation, Urban Design and Planning, Workplace, and On the Boards. For complete information on how to submit for the 2024 GSA Design Awards, please email design.awards@gsa.gov.

All submissions are due by noon Eastern time on Oct. 30, 2024.
