All the project judges will now be spending the winter months assessing

recognised as the ultimate stamp of excellence" said Ray Molony. "Therefore
these on-site visits are crucial to ensure that the high standards are
maintained".
A new category, Low Carbon Projects has been added this year, to recognise
installations that balance exceptional creativity with minimal environmental
impact.
Winners will be announced at a glittering ceremony at the London Hilton
Hotel on Park Lane on Thursday 6th March 2008.
