National Council recently endorsed the formation of an Awards Category Working Group in preparation for the 2014 Awards Program. The formation of this working group is in response to the recommendations/issues raised in relation to categories.

The working group consists of the current Institute National President, Paul Berkemeier, the past National President, Shelley Penn, four Institute members selected by the current National President: Andrew Wilson, Adrian FitzGerald, Abbie Galvin and Mark Damant and Institute General Manager of Marketing and Development, Shahana McKenzie.  These members were selected from a call for expressions of interest sent to all 2013 Awards jurors.

In forming its recommendations, the Categories Working Group will be consulting with a variety of members and staff. Firstly, the working group is calling for members to provide feedback regarding the Awards program, specifically categories to awards@architecture.com.au

To assist the working group in delivering on time for the 2014 National Awards program we would appreciate any feedback on Friday 27 September 2013.
