Emerging Voices Entries
Deadline Extended: March 1st, 2010

 

This program has continuously provided a forum to highlight architectural practices in the metro Atlanta area that might not otherwise be presented to the public and architectural community. Last year our event was at MODA in late September to recognize BLDGS, Rutledge-Alcock Architects and Nodus, and was attended by a very diverse group of over 400 local professionals. We look forward to another successful year and recognition of three more amazing firms.
