Closing Bell: Nominate Your Brooklyn Buildings

The Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce is now accepting nominations for the 2012 Building Brooklyn Awards and will hold a ceremony for the winners this July. Buildings will be judged on “design excellence and innovation, economic impact, sustainability, urban context/design, contribution to neighborhood, and the most important but least definable quality, ‘Brooklyn-ness.'” So if you know a building that screams “Brooklyn,” nomiate it here. Nominations will be accepted until Thursday, March 8th, 2012. Here are last year’s winners; Newtown Creek (pictured) won as a civic and institutional building.
