2025 AIA CLEVELAND DESIGN AWARDS
Dear Potential Sponsor of AIA Cleveland,
We are thrilled to invite you to be part of an extraordinary evening at the 2025 AIA Cleveland Design Awards! Your past support has been invaluable, and we are excited to announce this year’s event, which promises to be more spectacular than ever. Mark your calendars for Friday evening, November 7th, as we once again host the awards at the beautifully refurbished Hotel Cleveland.
This venue, rich in architectural splendor, sets the perfect stage for a night dedicated to celebrating excellence in design across Cleveland and Northeast Ohio. It’s not just an awards ceremony; it’s a grand celebration of creativity, innovation, and community.
We are especially excited to reveal that this year’s event will be graced by the esteemed Brian MacKay-Lyons, CM, FRAIC, RCA, (Hon.Int) FAIA, (Hon.Int) FRIBA of MacKay-Lyons Sweetapple Architects, who will deliver an inspiring keynote address and serve as our jury chair. We will start the evening with insights from Brian, an internationally recognized architect and leader of a global practice based in Nova Scotia, followed by an extended cocktail hour where you can mingle with industry leaders while enjoying fabulous food and drinks.
The excitement doesn’t stop there. The highlight of the evening, the AIA Cleveland Awards Ceremony, will honor the pinnacle of architectural achievements. After the awards, join us for a vibrant reception filled with music, and engaging conversations that will spark new ideas and collaborations.
Our awards program and educational outreach thrive because of the generosity of sponsors like you. This year, we offer an array of sponsorship opportunities that provide significant benefits, including prominent recognition during the event, in our printed program, on event signage, and across various online media platforms.
Becoming a sponsor of the AIA Cleveland Design Awards is more than just a financial contribution; it’s a chance to network with a dynamic community of architects, designers, contractors, developers, and other key players in the industry. Hotel Cleveland offers a unique and memorable backdrop for these interactions, making it an invaluable occasion for fostering business relationships and gaining visibility.
