Young CAADRIA Award (YCA)

Young CAADRIA Awards are funded by CAADRIA and include sponsorship of conference registration fees and a certificate presented during the conference. Applications are open to full or part-time registered students (Ph.D., Post-Grad, or Undergrad students), applications can be made after having received a notification of full paper acceptance. The awards allocation will be made by a committee jointly formed by CAADRIA, the Paper Selection Committee, and the Conference Host and will be based on the merit of the paper, contribution, and relevance to CAADRIA and demonstrated depth of research interest. Awards will be applied to conference registration fees and are not transferable (e.g. awardees cannot assign them to co-authors). If an awardee does not attend the conference no award will be given. The awards will be chosen before the conference. A student can apply for the award only if the full paper is selected for inclusion in the conference. An applicant can win the award more than once, chosen on the merit of work. There is no restriction if someone has won the Young CAADRIA Award in the past 3 years.
The following criteria are used by the jury to assess the applications:
  • Clarity of concept

  • Understanding of context

  • Quality of writing

  • Strength of research in CV and supporting documents

  • Applicability to the wider architectural research

  • Typically only one student per university per year

Application material to be sent to yca@caadria.org before January 15, 2025 (AoE):
  • CV

  • List of publications

  • Accepted paper to CAADRIA 2025
