Requirements
This category recognizes building projects that demonstrate leadership in the development and execution of not-for-profit initiatives. Entries will be evaluated based on two components: 25% of the score will be based on the written description of the project's impact on the charitable organization, and 75% will be based on the design criteria outlined below. There is no fee to enter this category; however, standard finalist fees will apply if the project is selected as a finalist.
