Call for Entries for the 16th Annual FBCI Form-Based Codes Award
Date: 8/16/2022 - 9/2/2022
Type: Competitions / Awards
Description:
The Form-Based Codes Institute (FBCI) at Smart Growth America is pleased to announce the return of the FBCI Form-Based Codes Award, which recognizes exemplary form-based codes that advance the practice of form-based zoning in both composition and implementation.
In reviewing codes submitted for the award, the jury considers the following criteria:
- Will the code promote good urbanism (has it resulted in high-quality development activity)?
- Will the code deliver a predictable street character (public and private open space)?
- Is the code implementable and relatively easy to use?
- Does the code have relevant and distinguishing features that advance the practice?
Both newly adopted and established codes showing positive built results are welcomed for consideration. We also encourage applications for codes that have been adopted for disinvested neighborhoods or communities of color, or that have been drafted by minority professionals.

Submissions are due by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on Friday, September 2.
