Among the cov- eted awards will also be Best developer, Best Interior and Best Service Provider to the real estate industry. A noteworthy recognition is the award to recognise iconic developments in history awarded in the Sri Lanka Hall of Fame category. Not leaving out the movers and shakers, Sri Lanka’s best architect and young architect will also be awarded at the awards ceremony slated for late November.

Entries are now open on www. srilankaskyline.com and a special jury of eminent individuals.

The award that will be presented to the winners will be iconic with each award being a gold- colored life- size wheelbarrow with 17 Golden Wheelbarrows expected to be lined up at the awards night. The event lead is The 7th Frontier, acclaimed for its award-winning partnerships with government institutions.
