Charter Awards 2010

The revival of urbanism is creating places of enduring delight, value and resiliency — and the development model for America’s new age of sustainability and value. Now in its 10th year, CNU's Charter Awards recognize the best of this New Urbanism.

The Charter Awards recognize excellence in architectural, landscape, and urban designs built in harmony with their physical, environmental and social contexts as well as the publications, policies, plans and codes that structure them. Submissions in two main categories —professional and student/faculty — are judged by a jury of distinguished urbanists on the extent to which they fulfill and advance the principles of the Charter of the New Urbanism. Chairing this year's jury is developer Vince Graham, who has won Charter Awards for both I'On and Mixson in Charleston, South Carolina. Awards are invited across the Charter's three scales, from broad regions to individual blocks and buildings. View entry forms and entry procedures and see past winners. See cnu.org/charter to read the Charter.

Plan now to submit your work and to help make the 10th anniversary awards urbanism's most acclaimed ever. Note: since January 18 is the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday, submissions sent by January 19 will also be accepted.
