Entries open: 2025 Australian Institute of Architects

The Australian Institute of Architects has opened entries for its seventeenth Dulux Study Tour, a prize that connects Australia's promising emerging architects with respected international sites and studios.

A jury will select five successful candidates to embark on the 2025 tour, which is scheduled to depart in May.

The prize is open to Institute members who are within 10 years of graduation from an AACA-accredited master of architecture degree (or equivalent).

Judging will occur in two phases, with first-stage entrants submitting their answers to four nominated questions. Each shortlisted candidate will then be required to submit a resume and a portfolio of work.

Entrants will be judged not only on contributions to architectural practice, but also education, design excellence and community involvement.

Tour stops will take place in three countries, which are yet to be decided. Winners will be invited to nominate their preferred sites and practices.

The 2024 tour saw Emma Chrisp, Flynn Carr, Jamileh Jahangiri, Mike Sneyd and Simona Falvo embark on a 10-day journey through Tokyo, Berlin and Madrid.

Stage-one entries may be submitted via the online portal until 11.59 pm on 4 October 2024. Submissions for stage two must be lodged by 5 pm on 15 November 2024.
