IA Awards for Excellence categories
In 2012 entries will be judged in two main categories - projects with a budget over $30,000 and projects with a budget under $30,000. You will need to demonstrate clearly why your project belongs in the category you have selected for your entry by detailing all project costs as accurately as possible. These must include your labour component (including voluntary labour) from the earliest planning stages right through to installation or delivery of the project together with all material, freight and installation costs. The category project values are exclusive of GST.
