Projects may not have been featured in other national design publications.

Real Projects Only
All entries must have been commissioned for compensation by clients with the intention and authority to carry out the proposal.

Architectural entries must have a completion date after January 2009. Urban design entries should be accepted by a client who intends to base future development on them.
