The jury is in and the winners of ENR New York’s 2012 Best Projects competition are — well — not so fast.

We’ve decided to add a little intrigue to the mix this year and so, for now, we’re disclosing only the project names and holding off on disclosing under which of  the18 categories they won and which award — merit, category or overall Best Project — they snagged.

For those details, you’ll need to pick up a copy of our Nov. 10 issue, which will also include further details and photos of every project. The winners will also be honored at a special breakfast on Nov. 14.

In this year’s contest, our panel of five distinguished judges from the A/E/C industry pored over 104 entries to select the region’s winners. Judges were free to move a project from one category into another that they deemed a better fit, so a project may have placed in a category other than the one in which it was submitted. Projects in Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island and Vermont were eligible to enter the competition.

See below for the alphabetical listing of all of the projects that won an award. The small list of finalists that were considered for the best project overall award follows that.

Join me in congratulating all the winners.
