AIA/LA Design Awards, Call For Submissions

This year marks the 6th Annual Restaurant Design Awards, a competition which honors excellence in design for restaurants, nightclubs, cafes, bars, and lounges. Right now AIA/LA is looking for stellar examples of beautiful design for any of the aforementioned establishments, both national and international, as long as the venue somehow ties back to this here city (the project is located in LA, or the designers have an office in LA, etc.). Like last year, recognition is awarded in both the Jury Award and People's Choice Award categories, selected by votes collected from the general public on the AIA|LA website. Establishments interested in partaking should register with AIA/LA by April 2. Who do you think deserves a nod? Feel free to share in the comments.
