About the APEX Awards
Projects entered for APEX awards represent the vision, creativity and hard work of developers and owners, architects, engineers and consultants and general and specialty contractors. Their legacy will continue as they provide venues for business, education, worship, entertainment, healthcare, research, retail and fine living for many years to come.

A blue-ribbon panel of judges spends an entire day evaluating submitted material and visiting each project. Winners are then selected based on evaluation criteria that include quality of workmanship, contribution to the community and/or environment, timely completion, difficulty of construction and unique qualifications of the project.
