The awards honor excellence across 40 categories, which encompass new home construction, renovation, community development, energy efficiency, innovation, and safety leadership. This year’s selection process saw a record number of over 430 submissions, narrowed down to 126 finalists by a panel of 100 industry professionals.

Additionally, finalists from smaller Alberta towns included Red Deer with six nominations, Medicine Hat with four, Wainwright with two, and Lethbridge with one.
