The David Thom Leadership Award was established in 2024 to recognize interns or young architects who have shown leadership and who have made significant contributions to the profession at an early stage in their architectural career.
Funded by a gift from IBI Group Management Partnership, the award is dedicated to the memory of David Thom, President of IBI Group. David Thom’s contributions to city-shaping and architectural design were far reaching, as was his boundless passion for supporting and developing the next generation of talent in the architectural profession.
An award of $5000 will be made to one winner each year.
Eligibility
Interns, intern architects and architects who are registered with a provincial/territorial association at the time of submission, and who have graduated no more than five years prior to the submission deadline, are eligible to receive the award.
The scholarship will be open for submissions until April 26, 2024.
