2025 Sunday Prize Honorees Announced
The Alice Lehmen Sunday Prize was established to elevate the level of drawing and design thinking within the Richmond architectural community by recognizing young, talented individuals and the work they are doing in our profession. Named in honor of the late Alice Lehmen, a passionate advocate for design education and mentorship, the prize celebrates emerging voices whose creativity and craftsmanship advance the dialogue of architectural design.
This year’s entries demonstrated exceptional imagination, rigor, and dedication to the art of drawing as a tool for exploration and communication.
