Processus de jugement

Projects were divided into four categories: Apartment Buildings, Individual Dwellings, Public Buildings, and Renovation. Stage 1: All projects in each category were viewed together by jurors. Projects unanimously rejected were eliminated; even one supporting juror kept a project in. Stage 2: Each juror selected their top projects (positive vote) from the semifinalists. Projects with zero positive votes were eliminated; remaining projects became finalists. Stage 3: Each juror individually ranked their top three from the finalists (3 points for 1st, 2 for 2nd, 1 for 3rd). Combined scores determined the final placements. Stage 4: Jurors could nominate finalists for special recognition (honourable mention) by unanimous agreement.
