All projects are designed by registered architects and built within the chapter area, with exception to the Ambassador Award which is built out with the chapter.

The format of the awards changed in 2017 to enable all entries built within the chapter area, Large, Small, Regeneration & Conservation and Wood to become eligible for the highest accolade of Building Of The Year. The awards are now also open to chartered architects working in other areas of the UK, who have completed projects within the chapter area.
