About the Process<\/h2>

As we look ahead to 2026, marking the\u00a037th year\u00a0of this prestigious competition, the judging committee and VRCA staff have once again reviewed the process, adjudication, and event to continue enhancing the experience for our members.<\/p>

Building on the strong momentum from the 2025 Awards of Excellence, we are excited to see what this year will bring. The expanded Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) content introduced last year was very well received, and we look forward to seeing how members continue to meaningfully engage with these topics in 2026.<\/p>

We also gathered valuable feedback from the 2025 event and submission process. In response, we will be incorporating refinements aimed at further streamlining the presentation and adjudication process, while maintaining transparency and fairness. In addition, the project videos submitted last year were a great enhancement to the gala experience. We are excited to receive even more high-quality submissions this year, along with stronger photo and video representation to showcase each project.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
