GUIDELINES:

FINAL DEADLINE FOR ENTRY:

Recipients will be honored at our annual MDASLA Awards Gala in May 2023 at a location TBD.

​

Entries shall be accepted for projects that are either (1) located within the State of Maryland and submitted by a firm or entity in any state or jurisdiction OR (2) located outside of Maryland and submitted by a firm with an office in the state of Maryland.

Projects will be reviewed by an awards committee from the Central States Chapter that is given criteria with which to evaluate projects.  Projects will be evaluated against the criteria, not against each other.

All project submissions or none may be given an award in each entry category.

The jury has the right to change an entry to another category as they deem necessary.

Evaluation criteria will vary in weight from project to project and submissions do not have to meet all criteria to receive an award. Consideration can be given to the type of project and project purpose/program.
