2018 Design Exhibit and Awards
The
Polished Apple Award Program recognizes outstanding educational facilities in the state of Washington. The program follows criteria from the Association’s LEsolutions Planning & Design Awards Program and the PNW Region’s Pinnacle Award Program, so as to encourage Chapter projects to also compete at the regional and international levels.
This year, the submittal requirements for the Washington Chapter Polished Apple award are identical to the submittal requirements for the Regional Pinnacle Award,
with the exception that the Polished Apple entries may include 1 video in the Optional Materials. All projects submitted to the Polished Apple are eligible for the Pinnacle Award and will be automatically submitted to the Pinnacle Jury for consideration.
This program recognizes learning projects which positively impact teaching and learning and result from a sound planning process reflecting the needs and expectations of the community.
