About the LSAA 2018 Awards

General Requirements and Categories

The LSAA 2018 Design Awards are for completed projects since November 2016.

Projects, or significant portions of a structure, may be located around the globe but the Awards are primarily intended for projects that have a substantial local contribution - such as design, fabrication or construction.

LSAA Members and non-members may enter (different fees apply - $200 per entry for members, $300 per entry for non-financial members).

The Awards are also open to companies or individuals who may not have acted as the main designer, fabricator or installer. However only one entry per project will be considered.

The Awards will considered in the following categories:
