RIBA National Awards form part of an awards programme operated by the Royal Institute of British Architects, which also includes the Stirling Prize, the European Award and the International Award. The National Awards are given to buildings in the UK "recognised as significant contributions to architecture", selected from those that have received a RIBA Regional Award.
The shortlist for each year's Stirling Prize is drawn from that year's National Award recipients.
