• Have a positive impact on communities and/or immediate context;
• Are environmentally sustainable and/or resilient;

The jury has selected thirteen outstanding projects from an extremely competitive ground of sixty-two submissions in total and looking forward to the future. We are certain that the heightening calibre of incoming submissions in the region will continue, thereby inspiring others within the industry.”
