The John Russell Pope Awards, presented biennially by the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art Washington Mid-Atlantic Chapter, honor outstanding achievements in traditional architecture, interior design, urban design, and landscape architecture. Named for John Russell Pope (1874–1937), whose Washington, D.C. works include the Thomas Jefferson Memorial and the National Gallery of Art, the award underscores a commitment to classical and traditional practice. Pope, trained at the American School of Architecture in Rome and the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, was noted for a refined and restrained American classicism. This professional submission cycle for the 2027 awards invites practitioners to submit work that contributes to the legacy of traditional design. While the exact prize remains unspecified, the award confers significant recognition within the field, aligning with the ICAA's mission to advance classical and traditional architecture and art. The jury evaluates submissions based on excellence and adherence to traditional principles. Submissions require a payment of $200.00 USD and must be received by December 19, 2026. The awards are open to all disciplines, with a focus on architecture, interior design, urban design, and landscape architecture. The biennial nature of the award ensures a thorough and considered selection process, highlighting the best work of individuals who contribute to the enduring legacy of classical design.
