The Irish Georgian Society invites applications for its 2026 Architectural and Original Drawing Awards from all Irish architects and architectural practices, building surveyors, contractors, engineers, and other professionals involved in the conservation of historic buildings on the island of Ireland. The mission of the Awards is to encourage excellence in conservation and to celebrate those conservation professionals and practitioners responsible for projects of merit.

There will be two award categories: one for a conservation project and one for an original drawing (non-CAD) relating to an historic building or structure.

Applications concerning historic buildings of all types, including vernacular, are welcome. Previously shortlisted projects have included churches, civic structures, courtyards, and houses both urban and rural. Applications must be received by 12 noon on Thursday 30th April 2026

This year's awards are generously sponsored by Ecclesiastical Ireland with additional funding provided by the IGS London Chapter and the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage through the National Built Heritage Service.
