The award categories are: commercial, healthcare, hospitality, institutional, landscape, liturgical, public spaces, and residential.

Jurors include Kevin Lippert, publisher of Princeton Architectural Press; Richard Marcus, former CEO of Neiman Marcus; Michael Monroe, former director of the Renwick Museum; Carol Sauvion, producer of Craft in America series on PBS; Sanford Smith, producer of New York’s premiere art shows, and Barbara Tober, chair of Museum of Art & Design.
