There were more than 90 projects in 19 categories entered by owners, contractors, architects and others in the ENR Southwest 2013 Best Projects contest.

The jury, who had sole discretion throughout the selection process, has completed their work, and ENR Southwest is honored to announce this year’s Best Project contest winners. The process included each juror independently reviewing the projects assigned to him or her via a web-based judging portal. After that work was complete, the judges met via telephone conference and determined the winners earlier this week.

The banquet recognizing the winners will be held Nov. 12 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Renaissance Phoenix Hotel, 50 E. Adams Street, Phoenix. To register, visit the registration page here.
