Background

The award was established in 2018, as part of a standardisation of state based Australian Institute of Architects awards. Prior to 2018 there was no award given for the overall most outstanding project for the year, with only named awards given for the best project in each category.

The NSW Architecture Medallion follows in the tradition of the Victorian Architecture Medal started in 1929, the Canberra Medallion started in 1956 and the Tracy Memorial Award started in 1976 in the Northern Territory. By 2021 all states had a significant named award, medal or medallion that selects the most outstanding project from all categories and entries received in a particular year.
