The Daily Journal of Commerce has named more than 90 finalists for the 2018 TopProjects awards competition recognizing the most outstanding projects completed last year in Oregon and Washington.
Since its creation more than two decades ago, TopProjects has become an industry tradition as a way to measure excellence in the region’s built environment. In order to qualify for this year’s competition, projects were required to be substantially completed by Dec. 31, 2017.
The finalists now move to the competition’s judging phase. Projects in several categories – including public buildings, private buildings, infrastructure, transportation and renovation – will be evaluated by a panel of professionals from the local building industry.
Judges will determine the individual top-scoring winner in each competition category. The project earning the highest number of points among all of the finalists will be named the 2018 Project of the Year.
Winning projects will be announced during the TopProjects awards event, which will take place May 17 from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the Oregon Convention Center.
