The Rudy Bruner Award for Urban Excellence celebrates urban places that are distinguished by quality design and their social and economic contributions to our nation's cities.  Winners offer creative placemaking solutions that transcend the boundaries between architecture, urban design and planning, and showcase innovative thinking about American cities.

Established in 1987, the Rudy Bruner Award is distinguished from other award programs by its broad eligibility criteria, the multi-disciplinary Selection Committee, and the detailed on-site evaluation of each finalist. Each award cycle is documented in in-depth case studies of the winners, and in a distillation of the Selection Committee discussions.

The Rudy Bruner Award for Urban Excellence is given to five winning projects in each biennial award cycle.

• One Gold Medal Winner receives $50,000.
• Four Silver Medal Winners are awarded $10,000 each.
• The winning projects may use prize money in any way that benefits the project.
• All winners are promoted by the Bruner Foundation and are included in a book
  published by the Foundation.
• All winners will be featured in award ceremonies and in a media outreach effort.
