BUILDER has extended the late deadline for the 2021 edition of the Builder’s Choice Design Awards, previously the Builder’s Choice & Custom Home Design Awards or BCCHDA, and will now accept entries until Friday, May 14 (late deadline, $50 fee applies).
For more than three decades, the annual program has celebrated innovation in residential design. Two levels of awards—grand and merit—are issued based on criteria including design excellence, innovation, sustainability, floor plan efficiency, and use of materials. One project may also be elevated to receive the program’s highest honor, Project of the Year.
The design awards entry process is completely digital. You may register, complete entry forms, and upload images, drawings, and plans by submitting everything to the digital portal in an easy, three-step process. Projects completed after Jan. 1, 2016, are eligible for consideration.
