The jury considers how well the project satisfies its own design intent. Any project within the last 5-years can be submitted for review. The evaluation considers both the written narrative and the design responses in four areas, with the heaviest weighting on the learning environment.

Planning Process:	Describe the project parameters and how the team facilitated discussion and arrived at design solutions that met the educational specification.
Learning Environment:	Describe the learning program and how the design supports the educational outcomes.
Physical Environment:	Describe the relationship between the physical environment and the user (students/teachers/community members).
Community Involvement:	Describe how the planning and design response connects learning to the community at large and how it fosters community use and partnerships. Consider facility characteristics and design elements that fit within the context of the community.
