PEOPLE’S CHOICE AWARDS AND INDUSTRY AWARDS OF EXCELLENCE
Colorado Springs, CO (October 3, 2024) — The Housing & Building Association of Colorado Springs (HBA) announced the winners of the People’s Choice Awards and the Industry Awards of Excellence for the 2024 Parade of Homes. This year’s featured homes ranged in price from the upper 400’s to more than $5.3 million. 24 builders presented 30 homes located throughout the Pikes Peak Region for the 70th Annual Parade of Homes, including 4 featured communities: Wolf Ranch, Sterling Ranch, Meridian Ranch, and Mayberry Communities.
Industry professionals from around the Unites States, including Colorado, judged the homes for the Industry Awards based on criteria established for that award category. The coveted People’s Choice Awards are voted on by Parade of Homes attendees who visited each home in that price category. Both the People’s Choice and the Industry Awards are broken out into multiple price categories. Industry Awards are then further divided among the following six categories: Best Kitchen, Best Master Suite, Best Interior Design, Best Exterior, Best Architectural Exterior and Best Overall Home.
On Wednesday, October 2, recipients of both the People’s Choice and Industry Awards were honored by the HBA at the Parade of Homes Awards Banquet held at the Colorado Springs ProRodeo Hall of Fame with more than 230 people in attendance. KKTV Channel 11 News evening anchor, Lindsey Beotsch, was the emcee of the evening. The sponsors of this year’s Award banquet were Floor & Décor and Alpine Bank.
