DESIGN AWARDS PROGRAM

Deadline extended to Tuesday, September 15!

COVID will not keep us from giving recognition to the many amazing public safety projects underway across the country!

The design awards program is open to fire departments and design firms that have brought a facility on-line during the last five (5) years or have a project “on-the-boards” that has not yet been approved for construction by the funding agency. Awards will also be given for outstanding examples of fire station additions and/or renovations as well as for deactivated fire stations adapted for reuse and purpose.

Please download and carefully read the DESIGN AWARD ENTRY INSTRUCTIONS as we had to make several changes to accommodate our virtual jury.
