HELPFUL TIPS FOR YOUR SUBMISSION

Here are a few words of advice from the organizers and judges to help you to prepare a winning entry, and just as importantly, to know what pitfalls to avoid.

  • Use bullets or point form in the text boxes – easier for you to write and easier for the judges to understand.
  • Word counts are the maximum only – don't feel obligated to meet the word count limit with each question, especially if you have answered the question fully and find yourself repeating information. It's much better to be concise in your answers – Judges don't like repetition.
  • Answer the question fully. Make sure you are addressing all aspects of the question, or judges will dock you points.
  • Have quality photography. Photographs are the only way judges can see your project. Make sure they are well lit and true to real-life colour and scale. For renovation categories, provide "before" photos from the same angle as the after photos.
  • Take your time and double-check the entry before you submit it. The submission deadline is November 3rd, 2025 at 11:59pm. You can go back and edit your entry up until the deadline, even if you've already submitted it.
  • Have a backup of your work. If you know that you'll be submitting an entry close to the entry date for whatever reason, it is strongly suggested that you prepare your entry in Word, Pages or other format prior to uploading. That way, if you have computer glitches, your work will at least be saved. If you know you'll want to reference your content at a later point, it's also good to have a backup
