The awards presentations were made by Gordon Simmons, associate professor, College of Architecture & Interior Design, University of Cincinnati. Ray Lackey, executive director of the International Masonry Institute, was the keynote speaker.
Five architectural firms were selected for recognition by a panel of judges from Cincinnati, with Simmons serving as chairman. Architects David Lee Smith and Max Worthington were the other members of the jury.
