  • To add a new submission, login and you will be taken to the submission dashboard.
    • Select a category and provide a name for the submission so you can recognize it easily later. This is a name used for your purposes only. Judges will not see this title you provide.  If you are submitting on behalf of another company please indicate it here.
    • Next you can upload photos for the submission and add the written submission text. 
    • If you need to add a brochure or floorplan, please scan and save it as a jpg or pdf and upload it along with the photos or pdfs.

  • Please note: In order for submissions to be considered complete and to be viewed by judges, you must click the SUBMIT button for every entry. Please contact the GOHBA office should you need to make changes to an entry that you have already submitted.
