The Forge Prize, established by The American Institute of Steel Construction in 2018, recognizes visionary emerging architects for designs that embrace steel as a primary structural component and capitalize on steel’s ability to increase a project’s speed.

The Forge Prize is a unique opportunity to experiment with a conceptual design without limit to scope or complexity — the sky really is the limit here, and the industry is paying attention.

Eligibility

Open to designers based in the U.S. who are either still obtaining licensure or have been licensed for less than 10 years.

Awards

Three finalists will each win $5,000 and work with a steel fabricator before presenting their ideas to the judges — streamed live on YouTube. The winner will receive the $10,000 grand prize and an invitation to present before an audience of the industry’s best minds at the Architecture in Steel conference, March 23-25, 2022 in Denver.
