JUDGING
Judging of the 2009 LightHouse Award entries will take place on September 17, 18 and 19.
A judging schedule will be sent out two weeks prior to the judging event.
Entrant is responsible for making sure home is open to judges during scheduled time and that gate passes have been called in for vehicles transporting judges.
A panel of building industry professionals will select winning entries. All judges are from outside of the Beaufort County market.
Judging criteria for Custom, Semi-Custom and Remodeling entries will be based on craftsmanship, demonstrated excellence and use of materials.
Judging criteria for Green Home entries will be based on innovative and creative solutions to sustainability with emphasis on the following:
• Designed with minimum waste
• Maximizes renewable products and techniques
• Maximizes energy efficiency
• Maximizes water efficiency
• Creates healthy indoor air quality
• Maximizes reclaimed and recycled materials
• Minimizes use of virgin materials
Judges will make every attempt to give an award in each category. However, awards will not be given in those categories where the quality of an entry does not warrant a winner. Decisions of the judges are final. Entrants may review judging scorecards for their entry at the Hilton Head Area Home Builders Association once awards have been announced.
