4.  Public Works
5.  Residential: a)  Single-Family  b)  Multi-Family

Each entry was judged on its own merit by a panel of highly qualified, impartial judges, who were selected for their expertise in their field.  Judging was based on architectural merit, creativity, quality of engineering design, innovative construction techniques or solutions, complexity, sustainable elements, functionality and end use suitability.  Finalists and a category winner were selected from each category.   The winning projects from each category then competed against each other for the Grand Award, awarded to the category winner that best employed the unique advantages of ready-mixed concrete.
