Movement and Place Award

The Movement and Place Award was established in 2022 to celebrate projects that successfully integrate transport and movement outcomes in conjunction with the delivery of a high-quality place to maximum social and economic benefits for communities across Queensland.

Entry

Entry is open to any transport, movement or urban design project that has recently been completed in Queensland (constructed) that delivers a high-quality place integrated with transport or movement objectives.

Entries should consist of relevant plans, photographs, sections and sketches together with a short description of the proposed design including key design features and innovations that support a movement and place outcome for all.  Entries are encouraged to be kept short and concise.  If the project has previously been entered in another Awards program (e.g. the Australian Institute of Landscape Architects Awards), that submission material may be reused here.

Applicants will be judged on their entry submission for an eligible project by a jury chaired by the Queensland Government Architect. No site visits are planned as part of the judging process.

Entries should be received by Monday 15 May 2024 and submitted via qld.gov.architect@epw.qld.gov.au.
