JUDGING
In an effort to share our success and spread Texas throughout the parking industry, we have partnered with the Southwest Parking & Transportation Association, who will serve as judges. The judges are parking professionals in the fields of architecture, engineering, construction, and operation. Projects will be judged based on outstanding conception, originality, and application in design, operation, management, and construction.
To enter, please provide the information requested in the Awards Pre-qualification Information (see below).
