JUDGING
Judges are selected from across the nation, are among the most creative and successful individuals within the home building industry, and represent the many disciplines contributing to new home sales and marketing, as well as geographic diversity. Judges are ineligible for entry. Judges reserve the right to eliminate any category where the quality of work does not warrant a winner. All decisions of the judges are final.
CHANGES TO CATEGORIES OR ENTRIES
HBA staff reserves the right to combine or eliminate any category or categories due to insufficient entries. Additionally, the HBA reserves the right to create new categories should the MAX judges determine a situation warrants such action. Judges may also re-categorize any entry, if in their opinion, it has been entered into the wrong category, or if the entry is better suited to another category. Special awards may be presented at the judges' discretion.
TAKE YOUR ENTRIES TO NAHB'S NATIONALS FOR MORE EXPOSURE
To give you the maximum exposure and save you time and money, you can elect to "roll over" your entry materials to the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) Nationals Awards.
