Awards for Excellence

The Institute’s Awards for Excellence is one of Queensland’s most respected and highly regarded industry Awards programs. Launched in 1994, the Awards were created by the development industry as a vehicle to recognise excellence and innovation within our State.

Year after year we receive feedback from the industry that receiving an Award is valued recognition for their work as well as an honour given the winners are chosen by their peers.

Enter 2020 Awards

2019 Awards for Excellence

The program is unapologetically rigorous, taking eight months from launch through to the completion of judging. We take the role of receiving entries very seriously. Since the inception of the Awards, our judges have visited every site in person as well as reviewed the accompanying written submission. This rigorous process recognises the efforts of entrants as well as ensures a thorough assessment of the field.

Our judges are experienced industry leaders who bring tremendous credibility to our awards program. Their depth of experience and knowledge ensures the process is both independent and robust. Over two weeks our panels travel the length and breadth of Queensland, seeking out the best of the best.

An Institute Award is a true sign of excellence, quality, and industry best practice. Find out more at udiaqldawards.com.au If you’re interested in sponsoring an Award category contact mterry@udiaqld.com.au
