Sponsored by the Congress for the New Urbanism, the annual Charter Awards set the gold standard for urban design and development. Instead of recognizing projects in isolation, the Charter Awards honor exceptional designs that complement, enhance or even repair their built and natural environments. Winning projects serve as powerful examples for future development.

Each year CNU convenes a jury of the highest caliber to review submissions and select the winning entries that best embody and advance the principles of the Charter of the New Urbanism. In 2006, jury members include foremost urbanists such as designers Leon Krier, Jaquelin T. Robertson, and Barbara Littenberg and development analyst Todd Zimmerman.

CNU is now welcoming professional submissions in three categories:

The Region: Metropolis, City, and Town
The Neighborhood, District, and Corridor
The Block, Street, and Building

Student/faculty submissions are also welcome in all three categories.

Submissions deadline: January 31, 2006
