The deadline is fast approaching for Mayor's Design Award nominations! Nominate your pick for a preservation or adaptive-reuse project by September 2. Nominate now >>

Since 2005, the Mayor's Design Awards have honored projects throughout the city for excellence in architecture, exterior design and place-making. The awards are presented to Denver homeowners, business owners, nonprofits, artists and others for their creative contributions to the public realm through innovative design.

Many different types of projects are eligible -- not just projects involving older buildings. Previous award winners range from restaurants and galleries to private single-family homes to plazas and other shared public spaces. What they all have in common is the imaginative and innovative way they enhance public spaces and create community.

Nominations will be accepted until Tuesday, Sept. 2, 2014, and winners will be announced at an event this November. To nominate a project, learn more about the Mayor's Design Awards and see past winners, visit DenverGov.org/MDA.
