The Brick Industry Association (BIA) has opened entries for the 2025 Brick in Architecture Awards, a premier international design competition featuring fired-clay brick. The deadline for submissions is August 29, 2025. This year’s competition introduces a new element, where winning projects and teams will be honored live at the Inaugural Brick Excellence Gala on April 9, 2026, in Orlando, Florida.
The awards program recognizes outstanding brick design and craftsmanship, with projects competing for Best in Class, Gold, Silver, or Bronze awards, as well as an overall Craftsmanship Award. A panel of peer judges will select the winners in October. To be eligible, submissions must feature new clay brick products as the primary exterior building or paving material, comprising over 50% of the visible surface.
Entries can be submitted in various categories, including Commercial, Education, Residential, Thin Brick Paving & Landscape Projects, Historic Renovation, and International. Winning projects will be showcased through BIA’s website, press releases, media, and social media campaigns.
“The winners showcase brick’s virtually unlimited flexibility to achieve any aesthetic with exceptional durability for sustainable design,” said BIA President and CEO Tricia Mauer.
