2025 Architectural Awards of Excellence
The AFBC Architectural Awards of Excellence represent the highest level of architectural award in British Columbia. Our aim is to recognize and celebrate design excellence for projects across the province.
For 2025, the AFBC is excited to offer a new Awards category: The Bing Thom Legacy Award for Architectural Excellence. This award honours contributions of individuals or teams whose completed work embodies the spirit of Bing Thom’s practice and legacy.
The AFBC would also like to acknowledge the generous contributions of Shinobu Homma in honour of Bing Thom for his outstanding contribution to community and civic design, and to encourage young Architects to excel in the technical excellence in architecture.
The AFBC is now accepting submissions and jury applications for the 2025 Awards Program.
