- Submissions can be submitted for project category #1 new ground up and project category #2 re-development / adaptive re-use / re-purpose.
- The project must have made a unique contribution to the economic growth and vitality of a region or community. (e.g. job creators, a catalyst for surrounding economic development, creation of public infrastructure that would have otherwise not occurred).
- Demonstrated unique design or innovation (is there a “cool factor”).
- Ability to overcome design, regulatory issues or other factors that challenged the project at various phases.
- Provide photos/renderings of the project.
