The RIAS is now seeking entries for its annual architecture award, now known as the RIAS Andrew Doolan Award for Architecture, Best Building in Scotland. The objective of this major award is simple - find the best new building in Scotland. Buildings projects of all sizes and types from all over Scotland will be considered. The architects of the winning building will receive £25,000, making this the biggest architecture prize in the UK and one of the most significant architecture awards in the world. In 2004 the prize went to Elder and Cannon Architects for St Aloysius College, Clavius Building, Glasgow.

John Pelan, RIAS Director of Communications said: "The RIAS Andrew Doolan Award for Architecture has established itself as one of the top architecture prizes in the world. The quality of the buildings that have been submitted over the last three years show ! what an incredibly exciting time this is for Scottish architecture. For such a small country, Scotland is definitely punching above its weight."

The RIAS now invites architects from Scotland and beyond to submit building projects for the RIAS Andrew Doolan Award for Architecture 2005.
