This group, a wide cross-section of business and sustainability specialists, architects, entrepreneurs and engineers reviewed 130 entries submitted to the competition. Three separate judges scored each entry and then all entries were evaluated through a discussion process – finally arriving at 23 finalists and 33 exhibitors. All these entries will be showcased in an exhibition in October this year. The public will be able to vote for the winners; these scores will be combined with the scores of a separate and entirely new judging panel.
