Frequently Asked Questions
My logo is on all of my floor plans, is this ok?
No, all logos must be removed from floor plans prior to submission. Submissions containing logos will not be accepted.
How do you calculate the square footage area of a house?
The calculation of square footage encompasses all finished areas (net square footage), measured from the interior surface of the exterior walls. Unfinished spaces, such as portions of a basement, are excluded from this measurement
I entered a project last year, and it did not become a finalist. Can I re-submit the same entry?
Yes, as long as the project meets all of our eligibility criteria, it may be re-submitted. However, please note that if your project was named a finalist in last year's competition, it is not eligible for resubmission.
Do my co-submitters have to be members?
Yes, please note that only members of GOHBA are eligible to submit entries for the GOHBA Awards. If your building partners wish to be named as co-submitters on your project, they must also become members of the Association. For further information, please refer to the Membership Requirements for more details.
What happens if my entry is the only one submitted in a category?
We will review your submission to determine whether it may be combined with a similar category for the purposes of staging a competition. If no comparable projects are identified, a refund will be issued.
