CTBUH Juror Criteria

The CTBUH Awards program honors projects and individuals that have made extraordinary contributions to the advancement of tall buildings and the urban environment, and that achieve sustainability at the highest and broadest level. Juries are an important part of the CTBUH Awards program. Jurors are charged with completing a comprehensive and sophisticated view of these important structures, judging every aspect of performance, including those that have the greatest positive impact on the individuals who use these buildings and habitats, along with the cities they inhabit.

Juror Professional Requirements

Jurors are chosen for their standing within their industry, their commitment to CTBUH, and to ensure a balanced representation across geographies, demographics and industries.

• Jurors are chosen from CTBUH organizational members in good standing.
• Jurors have a high profile in the industry, with an established track record of contributing to the inception, design, research, construction, occupation, or operation of the built environment.
• Jurors maintain the highest ethical standing in the industry.
• Jurors must be recused from judging any projects they or their firms are involved in.

Time Requirements

• After all submissions have been judged independently, a juror videoconference (max 2 hours) in March is scheduled to deliberate with fellow jurors and determine the Award of Excellence winners.
• All Award of Excellence winners are then invited to present their project in a session at the conference in Singapore (in person), so that the projects in detail can be judged by the jury, and the overall category winner chosen. Jurors must attend all Award of Excellence presentations in their category.
