The event celebrates builders, designers and craftsmen who entered new custom homes, remodeling/renovations/addition projects, special projects, outdoor projects and interior design & staging projects for consideration by the judges. As in years past, entries were kept anonymous, ensuring that all of the professionals and well qualified judges were unaware of which entrants provided which entries. Judging is based on a set of criteria formed around design originality, construction accomplishments and challenges, and solutions to those challenges. The winners of this year’s competition serve as an inspiration to the greater community at large, reminding us of the positive impact of the association and of its constant embrace of integrity.
