EAIA President’s Award 2026 – Student Registration form
About the EAIA President’s Award
The East Africa Institute of Architects (EAIA), established in 1913 and representing Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, and Rwanda, has long been dedicated to advancing excellence in architectural education and practice across the region. In a new collaboration with Journeyman International (JI)—a nonprofit global platform that connects university students and professional volunteers with humanitarian and development organizations to deliver affordable, high-impact design/build projects in vulnerable communities—the two organizations are joining forces to launch a student competition for architecture students across the four East African nations. This initiative will challenge participants to apply their skills to real-world scenarios that serve community needs, blending EAIA's regional expertise and commitment to educational standards with JI's model of mentored, project-based learning, ultimately fostering a new generation of architects equipped to address the built environment challenges facing East Africa.
