We received 132 entries into this year’s contest, and our panel of judges selected just 17 Best Projects and 17 Awards of Merit across 18 categories.

Our independent panel of jurors come from all corners of the A/E/C community, and over the last month have reviewed all submitted entries and scored each one according to each of the six judging criteria submitted. Judges recuse themselves in any cases of conflict of interest.
