STATEMENT REGARDING MEDAL AWARDED BY THE 

 ARCHITECTURAL LEAGUE OF NEW YORK 



The Architectural League of New York has 

 for some years past held yearly exhibitions 

 covering the work of Architects, Landscape 

 Architects, Painters and Sculptors. In 1909 

 the League established a medal for Painting 

 and Sculpture, in 1915 a medal for Architec- 

 ture and in 1919 a medal for Landscape Archi- 

 tecture and offers these medals annually. They 

 are intended to encourage the submission of 

 works of merit, to raise thereby the standards 

 of the League's exhibition and are awarded 

 only after recognized superiority in work 

 actually submitted and hung. 



Works of Architecture and Landscape Archi- 

 tecture to be eligible for an award must be 

 adequately presented by means of drawings, 

 photographs or models of executed work. The 

 jury may request the submission of such ad- 

 ditional data on any work as might assist them 

 in making the award. 



If, in the opinion of the Jury, the work sub- 

 mitted in either Architecture, Painting, Sculp- 

 ture or Landscape Architecture, is not of 

 sufficient merit to justify an award, no award 

 shall be made. 



The Jury of award shall be thirteen in num- 

 ber, of which the President of the League 



shall be ex-officio Chairman. The Executive 

 Committee shall appoint three Architects, 

 three Painters and three Sculptors, and three 

 Landscape Architects from the nominations 

 made by the New York Chapter of the Ameri- 

 can Institute of Architects, the Society of 

 Mural Painters, the National Sculpture Society 

 and the -'\merican Society of Landscape Archi- 

 tects, respectively. These appointments to be 

 made in the month of October preceding the 

 e.xhibition. All members of the Jury of Award 

 shall be hors concours for the awards made 

 by such Jury. The deliberations of the Jury 

 shall be strictly private and its decision shall 

 be reported to the Executive Committee of 

 the League before the exhibition is opened to 

 the public. 



In case the Medal in either of the four arts 

 is awarded to two or more joint authors of 

 the work, a copy shall be struck for each. 



The Medal shall be accompanied by a cer- 

 tificate setting forth the name of the completed 

 work which formed the basis of the award, 

 together with the considerations which, in the 

 opinion of the Jury, characterize the work as 

 worthy of this distinction.
