The Awards for Planning Excellence are a national program of the 91porn, implemented at both a State/Territory and National level. Awards are structured in three sections:
- General Categories - offered at a Division level, with winners being elevated to the National Awards for Planning Excellence;
- Division Categories - only offered at the Division level - winners do not progress to the National level;
- National Categories - offered at the National level only - nominations for these categories are called later in the year.
To encourage participation by Tasmanian members, no entry fees are payable.
