A: No, the same entry will be used for both competitions. The best regional projects are selected by committees of judges, in 20 categories.

问:资格要求说该项目必须在某些日期之间完成。我们的项目将在竞争结束前几天获得其实质性完成证书,但是该建筑物直到一个月后才向公众开放。在完成日期,“实质性完成”是否适合您?
答:我们将接受对您项目有意义的“完成”的合理定义。但是,请考虑根据您提供的文本和摄影,将根据该类别的其他项目对您的条目进行评判。新利18备用网址对于截止新利18备用网址截止日期的项目,请确保您将在项目上拥有足够的材料(摄影,信息),以准备一份使法官惊叹的提交内容。如果没有,请考虑等待明年提交。
Q: Does my project have to be completely finished, or could this include portions of the project being completed?
A: Phased projects are allowed as long as the phases are a natural aspect to the job, such as a freeway project that was built in phases, under several, separately bid contracts. If the job was all bid under one contract and the phases were done internally with the contractor (Example: the contractor split the project into separate GMPs internally, but the whole project was under one negotiated bid) then it wouldn’t normally be considered a separate phase. However, if a building’s shell was built under a separate contract from the interior or tenant improvements, then those could be considered separate ‘projects’ (see question below).
One exception is in the specialty construction category, in which a subcontractor such as a steel contractor can submit their portion of a project upon completion of their specialty work, even if the total project isn’t complete.
Q: My firm built the shell of Building XYZ, but the interior build out (being performed by another firm) is not complete. Is the project eligible for this year’s competition?
答:是的,只要在单独的合同或阶段进行外壳和室内/租户改进工作,即使同一公司同时执行两者,您也可以提交。
Q: Are we required to have professional photography to submit?
A: No, your photos can be good-quality photos taken on the jobsite by a project team member, but they should still meet the resolution and size requirements. Just remember that the jury of industry experts will be judging your project against other projects in that category, so try to select the photos that best capture the uniqueness and quality of your project. Also, if you are submitting a renovation/restoration project in any category, it’s a good idea to include at least one before-and-after photo (that is mandatory if you submit it in the renovation/restoration category).
Q: Your form asks us to attach a project team list. How extensive does this list need to be? We typically don't release all of that information.
答:ENR最佳项目奖背后的精神是,竞争旨在新利18备用表彰美国最佳项目背后的新利18备用网址整个设计和建筑团队,而不仅仅是承包商或设计师。我们能够通知项目团队有关该奖项的信息,该杂志的文章描述了他们的作品以及该地区的奖项宴会。但是,您在上传的团队列表上提供的信息程度完全取决于您,不会影响评审的结果。
问:您的输入表仅允许我提交一个类别。如果我的项目符合几个不同类别的资格,那么哪个类别为我的项目带来了最佳获胜机会?
答:评委独立的行业the final decision for the winners in all categories, so there’s no way of predicting ahead of time what the competition will be like in any given category. As you are writing your project narrative, consider which aspect of the project will be the most compelling and the most unique to the judges. An example would be a LEED-certified higher education project, which could go into 'Higher Education' or 'Green Project'. If your project met exceptional green building standards, or used a ground-breaking, innovative sustainable strategy, then you may want to consider submitting in the green category. However, if the sustainable aspects were commonplace, or just one facet of a project with many innovative or compelling aspects, then it might be a better strategy to submit in the higher education category.
在评审过程中,如果法官提高了您的获胜机会,则允许法官将您的项目转移到另一个类别。另请注意,安全奖是独立的 - 您可以在同一条目的19个常规类别之一和安全奖中竞争。
Q: For the Green Project category, is it required that my project be seeking certification?
答:只要项目等同于寻求认证的项目,就不需要LEED或其他专业组织的认证。法官将期望与寻求认证的其他条目相同的可持续性功能。
问:我应该在绿色类别下提交太阳能项目吗?新利18备用网址如果没有,您是否有建议,关于什么类别太阳能项目适合使用?新利18备用网址
答:是的……。尽管这取决于施工的可持续性。仅仅因为完成的项目将产生“绿色”力量,并不意味着该项目是可持续建立的。如果它不是以等效于其他绿色建筑物等效的方式设计和建造的,请考虑在工业/制造类别中提交电力项目。
问:规则规定,任何与建筑有关的致命的项目都不符合资格。如果该死亡发生在项目的不同阶段怎么办?
答:只要您的项目符合其他资格规则,并且符合上述问题中详细介绍的单独阶段或“项目”的定义。
问:关于安全问题,您是否要求特定于项目的总计或公司范围内的总计?总数应该是项目的持续时间还是申请日历年的总计?
A: The safety questions are project specific, over the full duration of the project being submitted, regardless of how long or short the construction duration is.
数据仅适用于该项目。Our industry judges include life-long safety professionals who are fair yet strict in judging the safety criteria, so we recommend you provide open and honest info about your project’s safety record, and be sure to use the text field to explain your safety programs and any incidents.
问:如果我提交安全奖,这是否使我无法在常规20类之一中提名我的项目?
A: The safety award is separate and doesn't prevent your project from winning in one of the 20 project categories (civil, cultural, office, retail, transportation, green, etc). The entry form allows you to choose one of the 20 categories, and then a separate question asks if you want to also compete for the safety award.
如果法官决定该项目的效果,则项目可以同时获得安全奖和常规类别奖。
Q: Can previous winners submit again if they fit into the time frame?
A: Projects that have won previously are not eligible again this year, unless the submittal is for a separate phase (see question about what constitutes a phased project above.) Projects that didn’t win previously but still fit within the current competition’s timeframe may be resubmitted. Consider revising photos or text in your resubmittal to improve the presentation for the judges.
Q: I work for the firm that built the light rail cars for Light Rail Project XYZ. Am I eligible to submit?
答:通常,只有与建筑直接相关的工作才有资格,但是有例外。请联系enr.regional.contests@bnpmedia.comor your region’s editor to provide specific detail about your project.
问:我想在加拿大或另一个国家提交一个项目。会符合资格吗?
A: Best Projects 2012 is only accepting entries in the 50 U.S. states, plus Washington D.C. and Puerto Rico. However, ENR is planning on holding a new competition for Global Best Projects in 2013. Stay tuned for more information on this exciting awards program!
问:最近,一家牌匾公司与我们联系,该公司表示我们获得了2012年最佳项目(或上一年)奖,但他们出售的牌匾并不类似于您提供给获奖者的牌匾。新利18备用网址这家公司隶属于您吗?
A: You may receive emails or phone calls from firms trying to sell you a generic-looking award plaque, with vague references to your award. These firms have no affiliation with ENR or any other BNP Media publication. Their plaques do not contain ENR logos or other copyrightable content. BNP Media and ENR may work with outside contractors to provide you with high-quality awards and other products, but you can always identify the official awards because they will feature the appropriate logos, the photo of the project you provided, and the specific award name and project name.
