Downtown Design Awards

The Downtown Improvement District is seeking nominations for the first of what they expect to be an annual recognition of superior design for downtown projects recently completed. Projects will be considered in three categories: Architecture, Landscape, and Signs/Graphics. DID is joining with the local chapter of the American Institute of Architects and ARCH (Architecture and Community Heritage, Inc.) to present design and preservation awards at a combined celebration and reception to take place on November 11.

Please submit your downtown entry with a photo (digital) and paragraph describing the design merits of the completed project, to justin@downtownfortwayne.com. Deadline for submissions is October 28, 2009. For submission details: http://www.downtownfortwayne.com/media/files/1_aia.pdf
