A minimum of 8 and a maximum of 12 digital images with plans and interior and exterior views sufficient to fully illustrate each entry (minimum of 5 for unbuilt) are required. The site will only display 12 images. Animations are not eligible.

Floor Plans and Site Plans are required for all entries, except Interiors, which may omit the site plan. Other drawings, i.e., sections, axonometric views, elevations, graphic data and details may be included.

Views of both interiors and exteriors are required except when Interiors were done by another design professional. Exterior views should show all sides of a project. Exceptions might be party wall construction or a project with many similar buildings. Views, where possible, should show the project in the context of its immediate surroundings (i.e., adjacent streets and buildings).

Exterior views should be primarily daylight views unless night views relate directly to the project use or effect, such as marquees, or special illumination.

For renovation projects, views taken before and after construction are required.

Any visuals containing firm identification or logo will be rejected.

If a submitting firm has any concerns about displaying any component of their plans and/or images on a public website, those images can be hidden from the public gallery for the duration of the on-line submittal / gallery process.

Using the password, submitting individuals and firms will be able to upload images and text themselves and to adjust the display of their entries until they choose to submit them to the Awards Committee and the Jury. Once submitted, the entry’s display and content can no longer be altered. The entry will be reviewed and checked for completeness by the committee after which it will appear on the web site for viewing by the Jury Members and the public.

Common questions concerning the Digital Submittal Process and Requirements are answered in the website’s FAQ Section. Entrants should use the Contact Form to post their own questions.
