The RIBA presents the Annie Spink Award biennially in recognition of an outstanding contribution to architectural education.
Nominations are now being requested until Monday, 6 October 2008.
The Annie Spink Award is open to teachers (individuals or groups) working on any internationally recognised RIBA course who are involved in the development of architectural education and engage with the process of teaching and learning.
The award is financed by the Annie Spink Trust Fund, which was established in 1974 by architect Herbert Spink FRIBA. He bequeathed the trust as a lasting memorial to his wife Annie, who died in 1938, and conceived it as an honor for the 'advancement of architectural education'.
Winners of the award receive the Annie Spink trophy and £10,000.
