Our independent panel of jurors come from all corners of the A/E/C community, and over the last several weeks have reviewed all submitted entries and scored each one according to each of the six judging criteria. As always, judges recuse themselves in any cases of conflict of interest.

Special thanks to this year's distinguished panel of judges!

Kim Allen, Director of Operations, Construction Industry Institute at The University of Texas at Austin;
David Helveston, President, Pelican Chapter, Associated Builders and Contractors Inc.;
Meloni McDaniel, President and CEO, TEXO;
Nick Moldaner, Vice President, Palmisano;
Hannah Sargent, Architect, Gensler; and
Thomas Sofranko, Professor, LSU School of Architecture, and Associate Dean, LSU College of Art + Design.

Coming Up

In addition to selecting category winners, our judges have also picked out three finalists for ENR Texas & Louisiana's 2020 Project of the Year — that winner will be announced at our Best Projects event in October. We'll be previewing the finalists here leading up to the event!

Meanwhile, a separate jury is hard at work right now scoring ENR Texas & Louisiana's annual Excellence in Safety award. Those winners will be announced by the end of July, so please keep an eye out.

All winning project teams — as well as our Owner of the Year, Design Firm of the Year, Contractor of the Year, Specialty Contractor of the Year and Legacy Award winner — will be celebrated in Houston on October 23 at the JW Marriott Houston. We still plan to host this event in person, but we're keeping an eye out on local conditions and will adapt as needed. For more info on the event and to register, click here!
