Best in American Living Awards Entry Forms Due July 1

Domus, the 2008 Community of the Year Award winner

If you are just now starting your entry forms for the 2009 Best in American Living Awards, then you have got a your work cut out for you. All entry forms and fees are due in just two weeks (on July 1st).

The Best in American Living Awards are 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 competition includes 37 categories – from single-family attached and detached homes in a variety of sizes to rental developments and custom homes, plus interior design, communities and neighborhoods, affordable housing, smart growth and certified green homes, which is a new category this year.

A panel of design professionals judges 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.

We would love to see projects from Atlanta real estate receive this prestigious, national recognition. We have many extraordinary homes and communities that are perfect for the Best in American Living Awards, and it would bring a tremendous sense of pride if we were home to the 2009 Community of the Year or Home of the Year. Get your entry forms fills out and sent in by the due date, because if no projects from Atlanta are even in the running, how could we possibly win?

Homes that were completed or that had their first model opened between Jan. 1, 2008 and July 15, 2009 are eligible for this year’s competition. The National Association of Home Builders and Professional Builder magazine are co-sponsors of these real estate awards, which does mean that your award-winning project would be featured in Professional Builder magazine.
