Welcome
Below are details regarding the judging criteria, entry rules and a checklist. Once you have read this please click on the green “Submit an Entry” button (top right hand corner) to enter your project in the Awards
ENTRY RULES
- Entries must be for windows/glass supplied within the last three calendar years (e.g. for 2025 awards, jobs supplied in the 2024, 2023, 2022 calendar years).
- Each entry must be an actual building project rather than just conceptual.
- Each entry can be entered into a maximum of two categories by each member, but not across multiple years.
- The entrant must be a current financial member of the Window & Glass Association.
- The project must provide evidence of compliance with the Building Code.
- The categories are by end use application, not by product type. Therefore, a commercial suite in a residential construction is classed as a residential entry.
- If the project owner or builder is also the window manufacturer, then an independent testimonial, such as from an Architect, must be provided.
- Entry confirms that the owner of the property or project entered understands information from this project may become public (this includes name of project, general location such as region or suburb, general details of project and images of the project); that the property or project owner has agreed to the potential for publicity in the event the project succeeds a finalist or winner; and that the key project partners and suppliers (including photographers of any professional images) are credited appropriately.
- A maximum of ten photos can be entered for each award
- Finalist entries will be published at the Awards.
- Entries will only be accepted via the online portal (ie will not be accepted by email, memory stick, physical)
- Judges reserve the right to move entries into different categories.
- Judges’ decisions are final and no correspondence will be entered into.
- Judges will mark each criteria against the percentage allocated with each criteria score then be added to provide a final score for the entry.
- There has to be a winner in each category but only if each winning entry scores at least 75/100.
- The supreme winner must be one of the category winners.
