2007 BALA Home of the Year: Tucker Bayou, a modular cottage |
Entries are being accepted for the 2008 Best in American Living Awards (BALA), the foremost residential design competition in the country. Builders, interior designers, architects, land planners, developers and marketing and real estate professionals are invited to enter.
The entry deadline has been extended till Thursday, July 31.
The competition includes 36 categories — from single-family attached and detached homes in a variety of sizes to rental developments and custom homes, plus categories for interior design, communities and neighborhoods, affordable housing, smart growth and others.
A panel of design professionals judge entries on design appearance and curb appeal, interior floor plans, how the project relates to its own local market and the construction techniques and materials used.
Homes that were completed or that had their first model opened between May 1, 2007 and July 15, 2008 are eligible for this year’s competition.
Entry Dates:
- Entry forms and fees due: July 31
- Entry notebooks due/must be postmarked by: Aug. 7
Co-sponsored by Professional Builder magazine and NAHB, winners will be announced at the 2009 International Builders’ Show in Las Vegas, which will be held Jan. 20-23.
Winning entries also will be posted on the Professional Builder Web site (probuilder.com) for up to one year after the announcement.
