Entries are assessed by a volunteer panel drawn from building design, interior design and other relevant industry stakeholders, bringing diverse expertise and perspectives to the judging process. Where a conflict of interest exists, the relevant judge is excluded from the assessment of that category or entry.
Judging considers design quality, functionality, innovation, buildability, sustainability and overall outcome for clients, users and the Queensland community.
