The judges have now spoken and the results are in for this year's winners of the tristate region's top 20 under 40 competition.

Like last year, this year's judges from the A/E/C industry based their votes on criteria including professional achievement, community service, and the applicant's contribution to overall industry improvement. There were 59 contenders for just 20 slots this year.

Also like last year, the winners represent a range of expertise. These include a global aviation and transportation specialist who also volunteers time to feed the homeless and fundraise for cancer research; a sustainable health-care design expert who also teaches, holds workshops and does pro bono work; and a project manager who has worked on many top projects.
