2011 Project of the Year Awards

In the following section we are pleased to announce the results of the ELEVATOR WORLD Annual Project of the Year contest. We have highlighted the 2011 winners. Our esteemed panel of judges examined each entry and, as is always the case, the final decisions were not easy to make. Each project entry served as an example of team members joining together to overcome challenges, while going above and beyond to bring their projects in on time, within budget, 100% complete and to the clients’ satisfaction. First Place winners for each category have been presented with awards commemorating their outstanding work. 

The EW staff and the Project of the Year judges would like to congratulate and thank all of the entrants for their participation. We hope EW readers will enjoy some of our industry’s most significant accomplishments from the past year. This year EW will publish an expanded version of each winner in future EW issues.

We’re looking to make the 2012 contest an even bigger success and welcome your entry. Participation in the contest builds company spirit, staff camaraderie and improves client gratification. Start thinking now of any noteworthy projects your company is working on that may be eligible for entry for 2012’s competition. Remember, the project should be comprised of a vertical, horizontal or inclined transportation system consisting of an innovative design, special application or approach that solved a major problem or overcame a unique challenge. Complete contest entry parameters will be available in the April 2011 issue of EW, and as always, the deadline is August 31st.
