The Philadelphia and Ohio & Lake Erie Chapters of the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art (ICAA) are pleased to announce a call for submissions for the Fifth Biennial Trumbauer Awards. The Trumbauer Awards honor the exemplary work of today’s emerging and established architects, designers, builders, craftsmen, and artisans working in contemporary classical architecture.

Presented by the Philadelphia Chapter of the ICAA, the Trumbauer Awards honored exemplary work in architecture, design, planning, landscape, decorative, and fine arts that preserve and advance the classical tradition. Named for the internationally renowned architect, and Philadelphia native, Horace Trumbauer (1868-1938), the Trumbauer Awards recognize contemporary projects that express the breadth and inclusiveness present in Trumbauer’s expansive work. This year, ICAA Philadelphia will once again be joined by ICAA Ohio & Lake Erie, expanding eligibility to all of Pennsylvania, Michigan, Ohio, and areas of New Jersey, New York, Delaware, and Maryland.
