Best Practices: Please keep in mind the best practices for design awards submissions. Although it is up to the jury’s discretion about the success of the project, it is worth noting that projects in the past have been disqualified for the following reasons, and therefore should be considered before applying for the design awards:

- Poor image composition
- Too much focus on the architecture
- Firm or designer’s name or imagery within the submission
