How to plan backward from the deadline
- Pick one project that fits the criteria and has a result you can prove.
- Gather the facts and sources first. Use our project facts checklist.
- Ask the owner for a short quote and for approval to use it, well before the deadline.
- Leave several days for your team's edits before you submit.
Want help drafting it?
AEC Awards Desk drafts the entry narrative from the facts you send. AI agents write the draft to the program's criteria and limits, and you review, edit and submit it yourself. It is $495 for one entry, and the first three firms see the full draft before they pay. Not sure which project to enter? A $95 fit check ranks up to three.
