Only dues-paid, Regular Members of CLCA are eligible to enter.  No project can be over two (2) years old since completion, unless being entered into a commercial or residential maintenance category.  For “Renovation” entries, please send “BEFORE” picture electronically (via email) or mail with your payment to:
