| The honors program recognizes the
best efforts of Virginians who, by profession or avocation, have made
creating, preserving, and enhancing Virginia's communities an important
life commitment. Nominations for all Virginia Society honors may be made by individual members, by chapter honors committees, by Society committees, or by the Board of Directors itself. Current VSAIA Board members and Honors Committee members are not eligible for any award.
The William C. Noland Medal, as the highest award bestowed on a member architect, is intended to honor a distinguished body of accomplishments, sustained over time, that spans a broad spectrum of the profession and that transcends the scope of normal professional activities. Only one medal may be bestowed each year. The Architecture Medal for Virginia Service is the Society's most prestigious public award, honoring an individual or organization that has made an unusually significant contribution to Virginia's built environment or to the public's understanding and awareness of the built environment. Only one medal may be bestowed each year but may be given simultaneously to more than one person. The T. David Fitz-Gibbon Virginia Architecture Firm Award, as the highest honor bestowed by the Virginia Society to a Virginia-based architecture firm, recognizes a firm that has consistently produced distinguished architecture for at least ten years. The Award for Distinguished Achievement signals distinguished achievement by an architect in any one of the following categories: promoting the aesthetic, scientific, and practical efficiency of the profession; advancing the science and art of planning and building by advancing the standards of architectural education, training, and practice; coordinating the building industry and the profession of architecture; ensuring the advancement of the living standards of people through their improved environment; or making the profession of ever-increasing service to society. As many as three such awards may be given each year. Honorary Membership is bestowed upon a person of esteemed character who is not eligible for membership in the Virginia Society but who has rendered distinguished and exemplary service, over a sustained period of time, to architecture and the built environment within the domain of the Society. Virginia Society Honors may be bestowed on non-member individuals or organizations that have inspired, influenced, or complemented the architecture profession in Virginia through practice of an allied profession, research, education, planning, legislation, architectural writing, the arts, or crafts. An individual who has previously been elected an Honorary Member of the Society is ineligible to receive Society Honors. The Test of Time Award recognizes the lasting value of good architectural design. The structure must be no less than 25 years old and must function in essentially the manner as originally designed. |

ARCHITECTURE MEDAL FOR VIRGINIA SERVICE As the Society's most prestigious public award, the Architecture Medal for Virginia Service honors an individual or an organization—not an architect or an architecture firm—who/that has made an unusually significant contribution to Virginia's built environment, or to our understanding and awareness of the built environment. Only one medal may be bestowed each year, but it may be given simultaneously to more than one person. Evaluation Criteria The nominees' regional contributions are reviewed for their statewide impact; the overall statewide impact of a nominee's accomplishments are considered. The nominee's efforts must be Virginia-based, a model for other efforts, and have statewide educational value. The length of service and type of activities of the nominee are also considered.
