In spring 2026, AEC professionals dedicated their time to volunteer as judges in the 2026 Marketing Communications Awards. Jurors spent countless hours evaluating numerous entries focusing on criteria that showcased the marketing objectives, research and planning, messaging, target audiences, and results of the project.
The MCAs, an annual awards program hosted by SMPS since 1977, is the longest-standing awards competition that recognizes excellence in marketing communications produced by professional services firm in the AEC industry.
Thank you to the following judges for their dedication in making the 2026 program a success. We couldn’t have done it without them!
