Contractors, subcontractors, design firms, owners and other stakeholders from across Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma and Texas entered 120 projects into ENR Texas & Louisiana’s 2021 Best Projects competition. Out of those, an independent group of judges selected 18 Best Projects and 29 awards of merit across 18 categories.
These judges, selected from all corners of the AEC community, spent weeks reviewing entries for their achievements in five broad categories: project challenges and solutions, safety programs, innovative design and construction solutions, contribution to the construction industry and the community as well as design quality and craftsmanship. Projects could not be eligible for an award if they had a construction-related death.
