    The Leicester B. Holland Prize Competition, open to both students and professionals, recognizes the best single-sheet measured drawing of an historic building, site, or structure prepared to HABS, HAER or HALS standards for the collection at the Library of Congress.

    The prize honors Leicester B. Holland (1882-1952), FAIA, chairman of the AIA's Committee on Historic Buildings, head of the Fine Arts Division of the Library of Congress and first curator of the HABS collection, a co-founder of the HABS program in the 1930s, and the first chair of the HABS Advisory Board.

    The winner of the Leicester B. Holland Prize will receive a $1000 cash prize, a certificate of recognition, and publication of the winning drawing in Architectural Record magazine.
