JURY OVERVIEW
The invitation to participate in the Architecture Awards program is both an honour and a responsibility that I, my fellow jurors – Nigel Bertram, Geoff Clark, Jonathan Pyefinch, Lindsay Tuffin – and the local Chapter do not take lightly. I thank everyone for their time and contribution. With thirty-one projects, this year’s awards program has attracted more entries than at any time in the past ten years. For the first time in Tasmania, architects from established and younger practices successfully presented their entries to the jury as a free public event. The jury was impressed by the overall standard of the projects. Through the presentation process, fourteen were selected to visit for further insight. The exemplary buildings exhibited a rigour that went beyond the brief and continued throughout the fulfilment of the built project. Whether collaborative, experimental, modest or just doing a lot with a little, the projects are contributing to architectural discourse, informed by a response to our unique Tasmanian environment and culture. At a time of economic instability and fast-tracked production, it is our collective responsibility to ensure that our living, learning and working environments retain design integrity. The awarded projects provide a showcase of excellence to be recognized by the public, government and private sectors.

JURY OVERVIEW
A record number, 88 entries, in the SA Awards program confirms that the economy has been in overdrive for the previous twelve months. While the influence of interstate architects on our awards in recent years has not gone unnoticed on the national stage (most of those winners went on to achieve national awards), 2008 has seen a return to local architects going it alone on their own terms. In contrast to 2007, this year has seen an extremely strong field of entries in both the Residential and Interior categories, with many going on to receive awards. Juries commented that the quality of work has been of an exemplary standard – this is reflected in the total number of thirty-seven awards being made. Juries also noted that in all instances, the clients expressed that their expectations were exceeded by the work produced.

JURY OVERVIEW
What a difference a year can make. While 2008 saw one of the smallest numbers of WA Design Award entries ever, 2009 has produced an all-time record number of entries. Significant increases in the Public Buildings, Interiors and Single Residential categories and the high quality of the work has made the juries’ task of assessment all the more difficult. The 70 percent jump in entries has occurred for the exact opposite of the reasons that caused the small number in 2008: many major projects emanating from the boom have now been completed and practices have more time to prepare submissions thanks to the world economic crisis. The Chapter is delighted with the continued growth of interest in the WA awards ceremony, which has resulted in the function moving to the largest venue available in Perth.

JURY OVERVIEW
Nine Northern Territory projects were submitted this year, providing both a good cross-section of building types and a significant variation in scale, from fence to convention centre. With the benefit of excellent organization by Gavin and Sally in the chapter office, the jury spent three contingency-free days visiting and evaluating projects in Alice Springs, Katherine and Darwin. It was no surprise that the projects elicited healthy debate, particularly in the interpretation of criteria for assessment. Common sense within the jury underlined our mutual enjoyment of the process and in the final selection there was little disagreement since our innate responses to each of the projects were aligned. The jury thanks the NT chapter office, and acknowledges both the voluntary work by a few committed chapter architects and their contribution to the success of the Institute’s annual awards program.

JURY OVERVIEW
This has been another bumper year for the Victorian Architecture Awards: 196 entries across eleven categories. It’s another record! The standard and quality of design entries also continue to rise, indicating not just the strong local commitment to the advancement of ideas but also the Victorian profession’s engagement with one of its most important public relations events. As always, the juries have been utterly assiduous in pinpointing excellence and generous in their dedication to the task of judgment, critique and visitation. Many thanks. Peer recognition is a key aspect of our profession and the message goes out loud and clear to the rest of Australia that we enjoy celebrating our own and that in 2009, yet again, the complete list of submitted entries fully justifies that celebration. Congratulations to all involved!
