There are three award categories for 2022 — Architecture - Large Project, Architecture - Small Project and a Rolling Category — Master Planning & Community Design.
Each category is eligible for Merit and Honor awards. Honor Awards will be granted for overall design excellence and Merit Awards will be given where a particular aspect of the project design is deserving of recognition. The projects are not to be judged in competition with each other, but as a measurement of the project’s performance considering its own scope and potential. Projects of ordinary program or modest budget can merit an award based on the architects' skill in optimizing the design opportunity.
