Eligibility

Anyone involved in the execution of a project, from design professionals and developers and government officials and representatives of civic institutions, are eligible to enter the awards program. If any member of the 2008 jury, or members of their firm or organization, are or were part of a project's professional team or a participant in its implementation process, that project is ineligible for submission this year. Both the project's principal designer and its owner must approve of its submission to the awards program.
