MFE Awards: Eligible submissions include projects that opened for occupancy or completed between the submission dates each year, as well as activities and programs in progress during that time. Buildings that have opened only for pre-leasing during this time are ineligible. Projects with a grand opening date after this time period are still eligible, as long as residents were permitted to live on the premises during the final phases of construction. If your project was completed in phases, you can only submit the phases that have been completed by the eligibility time. You cannot include plans or renderings for the uncompleted phases. It is recommended that you wait to enter your project to the MFE Awards until the final phase obtains its certification for occupancy during future eligibility timelines. 

Programs and initiatives must have begun during the defined time period, but it is OK if they have not yet ended. Entries are limited to projects in the United States and executives and initiatives from U.S. companies. Entries that have previously won an MFE Award may not be reentered. No fee or compensation was paid in connection with participation.

MNH Excellence Awards: Eligibility: Open to apartment properties that were renovated in the submission year. Judging Criteria: Really tell the judges your story—what makes it special, why you should win. MHN judges typically look to honor innovation, thoughtfulness, creativity and leadership.  Judges do look at the effort put into the entries. Give all the information in the entry.  Who decides the winners? All awards are picked by a group of judges who come from different areas of the industry. This can include developers, architects, economists, financiers, etc. No fee or compensation was paid in connection with participation.

NAHB Pillars of the Industry Awards: NAHB’s Multifamily Pillars of the Industry Awards highlight creative development concepts, innovative financing strategies, great design, and superior management and marketing in the apartment and condo marketplace. The annual competition is judged by a jury of knowledgeable peers, each having a proven record of success in various facets of the multifamily industry. Past years’ winners are not eligible for an award in that same category, but may enter other categories. Finalists and non-finalists from previous years are eligible in any category as long as the project was completed after the deadline referenced. A distinguished panel from across the country representing expertise in multifamily design, development, finance, marketing and property management is chosen to judge the Multifamily Pillars of the Industry Awards every year. Each entry is judged on its own merits, based on the information provided by the applicant in the official entry. No fee or compensation was paid in connection with participation.

*No cash or non-cash compensation was paid or received direct or indirectly for the publications or contents of these awards.
