Evergreen Awards 2010 – Entry Information

Eco-Structure's annual Evergreen Awards competition recognizes excellence in building design and environmental performance.

Greenhouse*: Environmentally responsible, high-performing residential projects (including single family and multi-family structures)

On the Boards: Unbuilt commercial, industrial, institutional or residential projects that address environmental performance and sustainable design and construction

Perspective: Nominate a thought leader and industry professional who is moving the green building movement forward

* Entries in these categories are judged on both design excellence and building performance. Please submit as much actual energy- and water-consumption data as possible with each entry. A minimum of 12 months of actual data is strongly encouraged.

Eligibility
Architects, developers, contractors, and other building professionals practicing in the U.S., Canada, or Mexico may submit projects in this year’s competition. On the Boards entries must be unbuilt. Green building professionals may be entered as individuals in the Perspective category. Projects that have won other awards are eligible. Projects than have won past Evergreen Awards, however, are not eligible for re-entry.

Judging
An independent panel of respected building professionals will select winners from each category based on integrated-design approach, quality of design and function, sustainable initiatives. Juding takes place each summer and winners are notified in early September. Winners are published in the November/December issue of Eco-Structure, are featured online at eco-structure.com, and are honored at an event during Greenbuild International Conference and Expo.
