Nominations are now being accepted for the Claremont Architectural Commission’s 32nd annual Excellence in Design Awards.  The awards program recognizes recently completed building projects in Claremont that best exhibit the City’s standards of design excellence.

Awards are presented in several categories including new construction, restoration, landscaping, signs, sustainable development and more.  In order to be eligible, the project must be located in Claremont and have been completed prior to December 31, 2012.  Projects completed in years prior to 2012 are eligible as well.  Projects involving interior alterations only will not be considered for an award.

Anyone may nominate a project that they feel is worthy.  Nomination forms are available at Claremont City Hall, 207 Harvard Ave., and online at www.ci.claremont.ca.us.  The deadline for submitting nominations is Monday, February 4.
