Eligibility Requirements

All projects—regardless of type or location—are entered into a single competition. Development projects and programs of any type and in any location that meet the eligibility requirements below may be submitted for a ULI Kansas City Developments of Distinction Award:

• The project must be in stabilized operation and must be financially viable.
• The project must be complete; however, this does not require that the project be newly constructed.
• The project must achieve a high standard of excellence in all areas—design, planning, construction, economics, and management.
• The project must demonstrate relevance to the contemporary and future needs of the community in which it is located.
• The project must provide lessons, strategies, and techniques that can be used or adapted in other communities.
• Programs and processes—such as growth management strategies and publicly guided development programs—are eligible if they have been fully implemented.
• The Awards program is open to all—not just ULI members.
• Nominations from private, public and non-profit sectors are eligible.
