Fort Collins Urban Design Awards#
The City of Fort Collins celebrates great places and people who design them. The Urban Design Awards promote awareness of urban design, and its importance for the quality of life in our community. Urban design ranges from a city or city subarea to a single outdoor space and considers the look and feel, as well as environmental, economic and social consequences of design. The awards recognize both new development and the maintenance and enhancement of existing development.
These awards were first given in the fall of 2006, again in 2008, 2011, 2013, 2015, 2019, 2022, and most recently in 2025. The selection process starts with a call for entries and ends with a committee (made up of local designers, city board members, and city staff) selecting winners from the applications. The process culminates with an awards ceremony.
Thank you to all of you who were able to join us for the 2025 Urban Design Awards and to everyone who made this event possible! We had an incredible group of entries this year and this event would not be possible without this incredible body of work in our community. Finally, thank you to our sponsor, Elevations Credit Union, for their support!
