Chairman of Judges, Mike Stapleton of Stapleton & Associates said “This year's PACE awards was a bumper event and the entries were thick and fast with record receipts. The quality of entries was extraordinarily high and choosing the winners was a really tough task and required considerable evaluation and debate. I was bowled over by many of the entries - a view that was shared by the other judges. Congratulations to all of those who entered; the projects were admirable, creative and exciting and I feel privileged to have been involved in the judging process"
