Our awards are judged by a panel of award winning CHBA members from across the country, and represent the pinnacle of excellence in their field.
Each entry will be judged on its own merit, based solely on entry materials provided.
Entries will be judged by a distinguished panel of highly qualified judges from outside of the Okanagan, who are selected for their expertise in their field.
An accounting firm chosen by CHBA-CO will monitor the judging process. No others will be allowed to observe the judging of entries.
The 2024 Okanagan Housing Awards® Finalists will be announced in December 2023 at the Builders Ball.
