[aadl]: Software architecture prize?

[Holger Blasum]

Dear AADL users, 

in a recent discussion I was wondering whether there is 
an entity that awards a prize for good software architecture,
ideally in the sense of a good decomposition into 
components, relations and properties[*] (similar to what
you can describe in AADL). I was thinking of an entity like
where one submits a system description (that could be, e.g., 
in AADL) plus rationale and once a year a committee selects 
the most beautiful one ... 

To disambiguate: afaik the Turing award is for the computing field 
in general, but not specifically for software architecture. 
(Incidentally, as of this moment, google just gives 3 (spam) hits for 
"software architecture prize".) It's also clear that the above is 
only practical for non-confidential system descriptions (e.g. in a 
prototyping, R&D or open design contexts).
