2025 CLIDE AWARDS
The Celebrating Leadership in Development Excellence (CLIDE) Awards Program was created in 2003 to encourage innovative development projects and practices that will help accommodate this expected growth and ensure a sustainable North Texas for generations to come. The CLIDE Awards Program does this by recognizing private and public development programs and projects that exemplify the Principles of Development Excellence.
The 2025 CLIDE Awards Call For Applications is now closed.
The 2025 CLIDE Awards Program offers five categories for submissions:
New Development
Recognizes developments that are constructed on previously undeveloped sites and successfully exemplify many of the Principles of Development Excellence.
Redevelopment
Recognizes those developments that reuse and/or rebuild existing structures and successfully exemplify many of the Principles of Development Excellence.
Special Development

Projects that exemplify the Environmental Stewardship principle may be highlighted here. Examples include but are not limited to a sustainable infrastructure project, an energy conservation initiative, an open space or trail project, or a stormwater best management practice (BMP) such as low-impact development (LID).
