Nominations for the 37th Vancouver Regional Construction Association (VRCA) 2026 Awards of Excellence are open.

The gala, taking place October 16, 2026, will allow the industry to showcase its commitment to outstanding projects, innovation, and industry leadership.

Building on feedback from recent AoE participants, judges, and VRCA members, thoughtful updates have been made to the 2026 nomination and adjudication process to better support nominees and showcase excellence across the industry.

The judging committee and VRCA staff will be incorporating refinements aimed at further streamlining the presentation and adjudication process, while maintaining transparency and fairness. In addition, the project videos submitted last year were a great enhancement to the gala experience.

“We are excited to receive even more high-quality submissions this year, along with stronger photo and video representation to showcase each project,” said the association.

View eligibility criteria and submit completed nominations by March 31, 2026. Following the initial review, VRCA will notify nominees after May 1, 2026 if they advance to the presentation round. Presentations will be conducted virtually via Microsoft Teams between May 21 and June 5, 2026.
