What sets these awards apart is their emphasis on homes that elicit a profound human response.  They are looking for projects that exhibit a clever and inventive use of materials, along with innovative treatments of light and space. Whether it's a new build, a renovation, a sustainable project, interior or outdoor room, they want to see homes that transcend the ordinary and inspire.

Here are the six award categories you can enter:

- Best Sustainable Project
- Best Use of Material: Brick
