Announcing the WFX 2018 Solomon Award Winners

The WFX Solomon Awards recognizes churches and their partners for excellence in facilities design, building expansion or remodeling, operational excellence, innovative use, and technical production.

This year our nominations for the Solomon Awards truly represent the best of what is happening, today in church architecture, design, construction, as well as in the integration of audio, video and lighting solutions.

The Solomon Awards are judged not only their beauty, or excellence of design, … they are also scored on how well the project was delivered: Was the finished project within budget? Was it completed on time? And, how well did the outcome match the vision and goals of the church ministry.

We want to thank each of this year's entrants and nominees!
