Entry Submissions due by October 5, 2015
BURNABY, B.C. JULY 21, 2015 – The Georgie Awards®, operated and hosted by the Canadian Home Builders’ Association of BC, are recognized both provincially and nationally as the residential construction industry’s most prestigious awards program. The annual Awards honour outstanding excellence in all areas of building including planning, design and construction, renovation, marketing, innovation, special achievement and more.
Entering the Awards provides a tremendous opportunity to showcase projects, innovative designs and the high standard of quality that conveys a company’s level of commitment and professionalism to customers while gaining valuable exposure.
New to the Georgie Awards Program:
To better identify the Finalists and Winners of the Georgie Awards® , starting this year we will identify the annual program by the year in which the winners are announced.
example: 2016 Georgie Awards® Finalist, 2016 Georgie Awards® Winner.
Although this may create some confusion in this change-over year, we believe that it will be better overall for your marketing purposes. These awards reflect eligible projects for the period of January 1, 2014 to September 30, 2015.
Eligibility
The Georgie Awards® are open to all members of the Canadian Home Builders’ Association of BC including members from its 9 local affiliated home builder associations located throughout all regions of British Columbia.
