A NOTE ABOUT BUILDER LICENSING:  Every new construction project or Building Envelope entry must include the Builder License number of the project’s builder, developer or building envelope renovator on the Entry Form.  Any Entry Form that does not include this information must have a letter attached explaining the reason for its omission. 

Each entry will be judged on its own merit by a distinguished panel of highly qualified judges who are selected for their expertise. The decision of the Judges shall be final and binding. All judges will be from outside Vancouver Island, with the exception of Category 37 - Lifetime Achievement Award, where CHBA membership ballots, or where necessary, a special judging committee will be formed to determine the award recipient.

The judging will be performed strictly on the basis of the entry requirements and criteria submitted.
