Not everyone has to be an architect to display creativity and originality in building design. In honor of this truth, we invented the America's Best Awards to recognize uniqueness and creativity in structures across the United States.

Below are our own choices for this award. (If you know of a structure which you think deserves one of these awards, please submit a picture of it and what category you believe it to be the Best Of, and we'll post it here. See details at bottom.) Enjoy!
