Nominations for award entries are now open until Monday, October 12, 2020. We welcome award submissions from owners, architects, tenants, neighbors and others for buildings, developments, plans, educational programs or other efforts that promote great urbanism in Colorado …including older projects that have proven to be great additions to the urban fabric.
