Please check the junk or spam folder of your email and if it is not there, please email awards@thinkbrick.com.au so we can confirm the entry has been submitted successfully.

We will also send you a copy of the Project Statement which confirms all the details.

It is best to enter as soon as possible.

This leaves ample time for any troubleshooting and support that may be required before the deadline of Friday 03 May 2019, 5pm EST.

There is no cost involved in entering a project into the 2019 Think Brick Awards.

A nominated project must have been completed since January 2017 and located in Australia or, if internationally located, built with Australian manufactured masonry products.

No, the same project that had been submitted last year cannot be resubmitted for 2019 Think Brick Awards, unless it is being entered into a different category.

Yes, you can enter the same project in multiple award categories as long as it meets the criteria for each award category.
However, a project can only be entered once into each award category.
Please ensure your entry meets the criteria for the award category you are entering.

Yes, 2018 high commendations are encouraged to enter a NEW project that has been completed in the past two years.
As a high commendation in the 2018 Awards, if your organisation enters the 2019 Awards, Think Brick Australia will pay for flights (one person return economy) and accommodation (if required) on the 15th August to attend the Awards in Melbourne.

Anyone can submit an entry on behalf of an architect, including members of the public, but the prize money (if won) will be awarded to the architect of the project.

Submission of an entry implies consent of all members of the project team to enter this competition.

If you are not an architect but involved in the project, you will have the opportunity to showcase your involvement in an award winning project.

We accept entries from building designers for the Robin Dods Roof Tile Excellence Award category only.

It can take some time to upload high resolution images to the Awards website.
We recommend you upload your high resolution images using a high speed internet connection.
If you have difficulty sending high resolution images to the Awards website, please email awards@thinkbrick.com.au

All entries received will be printed in the Awards booklet and showcased visually at the Think Bricks Award night on a large screen.
The printed booklet will showcase your project and be available at the Awards Gala Dinner.

You can choose the word ‘Other’ in the Brick/Block/Paver/Roof Tile Manufacturer drop down menu (it is in alpha order so can be found by scrolling to ‘O’).
Then ‘other’ will appear as an option in the next two sections (collection and bricks used section) – then you can specify all the details in ‘Please Specify’.

You can include relevant background information about your project, a short summary to describe your project, where it is, the reason why the project was built, what the client was looking for, what bricks/pavers were used, and the team involved.
The project statement should be around 100 – 250 words.
We will include the project statement in the Think Brick Awards Booklet and on our websites.

The winners & high commendations will only be announced at the gala awards dinner on 15 August 2019 at the Palladium in Crown Casino Melbourne.

A black tie and a dark suit, for men and a cocktail dress for women is suitable.
