One winner is selected from each of EPA's 10 regions, and additional special winners are selected for community impact, sustainability or other special achievements. Projects are judged primarily upon:

• Magnitude of the problems and the project,
• Use of innovative techniques,
• Cooperative efforts of multiple parties,
• Positive impact on the environment, conservation or sustainability, and
• Project's general and long-term economic and/or social impacts on the community.

Any individual, group, company, organization, government body or agency is eligible to apply for a Phoenix Award. Applications may be submitted by an individual involved in the project or by a third party, with the primary project coordinator, e.g., property owner, environmental engineering firm, or project developer, or the entire project team listed as the applicant.
In order to be considered, the brownfield redevelopment project must have been completed by the date the application is submitted. Projects are deemed "complete" if the end-use is being conducted at the site.
