Let's Win Together!

You're an expert in your field and it shows in every project. You bring more than expertise and skill: you bring a passion for amazing architecture, design, and construction.

Now it's time to take the next step: showcase your most outstanding building projects by entering the HAVAN Awards. The HAVAN Awards are a recognized acknowledgement that you're not just good, you're the best. And we'll help you go from good to gold.

Our team members have been involved with Georgie and HAVAN Awards entries since the beginnings of both programs. We’ve also served on awards committees and have been judges on the CHBA Nationals and local awards outside BC.

Using the combined power of great photos and well-chosen words, we'll develop a compelling story that will show and tell your story to wow the judges...and your future clients. It's a complete package and resource you'll be able to use again and again: enter other awards (you’ll be ahead of the game for the HAVAN and CHBA National Awards), as part of your online or print promotions, even as the basis for social media work, press releases, and magazine articles. And if you just need photography or writing, and a hand with the process, we can help you there as well.


How we can help

Complete entry package

The “design-build” approach for your awards entry. Just like a good building project, creating a solid awards entry is a lot of careful work, and every part of your entry should fit perfectly together. We collaborate with you to choose your entry categories, create a strategy for future awards programs, prepare everything, photograph your project, write the marketing statements, stay organized, and on track every step of the way. If it’s your first time preparing an awards entry—or if you’ve done it before and don’t want to do it again, but you want the results—let us take the frustration and guesswork out of the process.

Award-winning Photography

A picture is worth 1,000 words. For over 16 years, Martin Knowles has been creating distinctive architectural photography work. Communicating the strengths and appeal of a project across all your awards categories is a form of visual storytelling that is an art and science unto itself. Take advantage of our experience and put our best images of your work forward!

WRITING for awards entries

Brevity is the soul of wit…and impactful entries. Packing all the things that make your project special into the few hundred words of an awards entry is a complicated creative process, and our writers have a proven track record of creating marketing statements from your stories that get your points across to the judges, while covering all the technical requirements the Call for Entries requires.
