There is no fee for Application for the Awards. These awards were started to appreciate the Architects and inspire the young generation and since its inception in 1990, there has not been any fees
JK Architect of the Year Awards was the brainchild of our former MD Late Shri Yadupati Singhania ji of JK Cement Ltd.. Since the inception the JKCement has been the sole sponsor and organizer of these awards and any activities related to the events. JK Cement Ltd. does not ask or force anyone about using any of the products at the events.
We currently accept entries in the following categories: Private Residence (PR), Public Building (PB), Group Housing (GH), Revolving Category (changes annually), Green Architecture (GA), Foreign Countries (FC).
Foreign participants can submit projects in any category. The Revolving Category is updated each year based on suggestions from jury members and the architectural community. You can find details on the latest Revolving Category in the Code of Participation.
JK AYA does not disqualify participants for missing documents. If any required document is omitted during submission, JK AYA, in consultation with the appointed Professional Advisor for that year, will send at least two reminder emails requesting the missing document.
We understand that design files can sometimes exceed the current upload limits. In such cases, we send an email requesting the applicant to provide the design in the best possible resolution, ensuring it can be properly presented to the jury and evaluated fairly.
