The Annual Building Awards program began in 1980 to encourage better design and construction in the Poconos. The event takes place annually in October and is sponsored by the Pocono Builders Association. Competition for awards is currently limited to membership within the Pocono Builders Association 

Awards of achievement are presented in various categories. The Award of Excellence is the highest honor presented through the program. The Award of Excellence is awarded to a Builder Member and an Associate Member. We are delighted to announce the inception of a new award, the 'Moving Mountains' Award, which commenced in 2023. This accolade will be bestowed upon a PBA member who epitomizes outstanding community spirit without seeking acknowledgment or praise. The selection process for this award involves a vote by the current Board of Directors and was established by member Gilroy Northeast, Inc.

Entries for the 2023 Project are being accepted now! Deadline for entries is Friday September 20th, 2024
