Awards were given for commercial and residential projects, for both interior and exterior finishes. They also were given for light-gauge steel framing, acoustical suspended ceilings and renovations/restorations. Five awards were given to projects in Oregon, four in Washington, four in British Columbia and one in Alaska.

One of the Oregon projects, the new Sandy High School, won two awards.

Projects were judged on design, job site innovation and/or conditions, quality of workmanship, use of materials and overall effect.

The judges were retired architects Vince Nordfors and John Greiner, NWCB technical consultant Terry Kastner, former NWCB executive director and industry expert Bob Drury, and NWCB executive director Mark Eisenmann.
