Awards of Excellence Brochure & Official Entry Form

Each year IPI recognizes and commends trends in parking facility design which are aesthetically pleasing as well as functional, green and sustainable. We also recognize innovation in parking programs and operations. This year's 30th annual IPI Awards of Excellence open competition is for public agencies, jurisdictions, institutions, organizations and corporations which own parking facilities completed or renovated since January 1, 2009, or which conduct parking programs/operations initiated since that date.

Awards of Excellence plaques and Awards of Merit certificates are given to submitted projects/operations determined by the IPI Awards of Excellence Committee to be deserving of recognition in each category.
 
Awards may be made in seven categories:

I.          Best design of a parking facility with fewer than 800 spaces;
II.         Best design of a parking facility with 800 or more spaces;

V.         Best parking facility rehabilitation or restoration;
