The dedication and commitment by the jury to carefully evaluate all the projects fairly and equitably involves substantial work. We are very grateful to them for their voluntary efforts and look forward to presenting the voting public with their finalists on 18 March. This year, 49 projects will be competing for the IAPH Sustainability Awards. The outcome of the jury evaluation (70%) and that of the public vote (30%), will co-determine the six final winners per category, to be announced during the Gala Dinner of the IAPH World Ports Conference in Vancouver on 17 May.
