2021 AWARDS CATEGORIES

+ Home Sweet Home: A structure you could live in, if you were the size of a gumdrop. Anything from a hut to a high-rise.

+ Candy Land-scape: Be it a field, park, farm, or anything you imagine, the majority of this project should focus on the outdoors.

+ Shocking Twist: A seemingly simple structure with a surprising function or dual purpose.

+ Better World: This creation imagines and sparks hope in a better world for its community. 

+ Most Precarious: Impress our judges with your mastery of physics. 

+ Unapproachably Modern: It's angular. It's abstract. It's cold. It's a stunner. 

+ Painfully Traditional: Less about the building, more about decor. Immaculately iced and sprinkled in the classic gingerbread style.

+ Not A Building: Use your materials to create anything that's not a building! A chair, a car, an abstract sculpture, an idea, a feeling... 

+ Total Pro: A special bracket for all our industry partners to bring their A-Game.

+ Best Presentation: This one is all about the video pitch your team submits. Style it up! 

+ Judges' Choice and Audience Choice: Awards without specific metrics, just the favorites of our judges and YOU! 

+ Best in Show: This one will go in the history books.
