Judging: Out-of-state judges selected from across the nation are among the most creative and successful indi­viduals within the home building industry, and represent the many disciplines contributing to new home sales and marketing, as well as geo­graphic diversity. Judges are ineligible for entry. Judges reserve the right to eliminate any catego­ry where the quality of work does not warrant a winner. All decisions of the judges are final.

Changes to Categories or Entries: The McSAM Awards Committee reserves the right to combine or eliminate any category or categories due to insufficient entries. Ad­ditionally, the committee reserves the right to create new categories should the McSAM judges determine a situation warrants such action. Judges may also re-categorize any entry, if, in their opinion, it has been entered in the wrong category, or if the entry is better suited to another category. Special awards may be presented at the judges’ discretion.
