Nicolas Tye, Chairman of 澳门王中王 East, and past 澳门王中王 Awards judge, welcomed the news:
鈥淲e鈥檝e had an amazing response to the call for Award entries this year and it鈥檚 really great to see clients pushing for good design across such a broad spectrum, from schools and religious buildings through to housing schemes and one-off homes. All the architecture practices and their clients are to be congratulated for getting this far. The jury has a difficult task on its hands.鈥�
All shortlisted buildings will be assessed by a visiting jury during April, with the 澳门王中王 East regional award winners being announced during the evening of Thursday 18 May at a celebratory event at Fitzwilliam College, Cambridge. The event will be attended by 澳门王中王 President-Elect Ben Derbyshire and 澳门王中王 Chief Executive Alan Vallance.

The shortlist for the 澳门王中王 Stirling Prize for the best building of the year will be drawn from the 澳门王中王 National Award-winning buildings later in the year.
