AWARDS
All submissions are considered National Recognition Award
Winners. The panel of judges will select 36 awards at their
discretion - 16 Grand and 20 Honor Awards. A Grand
Conceptor Award will be selected from the 16 Grand Award
winners. The Grand Conceptor will be announced at the Gala as
the top national winner selected by the judges, whose decisions
on all awards are final. Awards will be presented to the clients/
owners and entering firms submitting the winning entries.
PUBLICITY
The public relations and marketing value of participation in
the national EEA program is substantial. All national winners
will be highlighted in ACEC's public relations program, which
benefits all U.S. engineering firms. Working with participating
firms and state MOs, ACEC staff will contact local media to
announce winners and their awards. Through national and state
efforts, display panels can be exhibited in such public venues as
city and state administrative buildings, universities, shopping
centers and office buildings. These activities enhance direct
business development benefits for both local and national award
winners. Further benefits are gained through feature stories
presented in firm brochures, newsletters and other publications.
