The SBCA is so thankful to have judges from a variety of fields within the building community. Judges have been assigned projects. Projects are kept anonymous with entrants names hidden so the work is judged based on the work itself. The SBCA has carefully planned to have variety of judges on projects to bring different opinions, design eyes, and expertise to the judging. We want to be transparent with entrants and the community. Thank you judges for supporting the SBCA!
