2011 Star Awards

In 1992, the Texas Association of Builders launched the Texas Star Awards — the only statewide tribute to excellence in the home building industry. In 2005, this remarkable awards program expanded to include projects throughout the Southwest. The 2011 Star Awards will continue to showcase the outstanding work of builders, remodelers, architects, designers, sales professionals, marketing professionals, construction professionals and industry leaders in Texas and the Southwest!

The Star Awards is held in conjunction with the Sunbelt Builders Show™ and is heavily marketed to the Sunbelt region: Texas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Arkansas. With more than 75 categories to choose from and hundreds of entries each year, it is an impressive feat to be identified as a finalist, let alone a winner.

The Star Awards Finalist and Winners will be recognized during the Sunbelt Builders Show™ at the Austin Convention Center in Austin, Texas. Grand Award Winners will be announced and presented their awards during the Texas Housing Hall of Honor & Excellence in Leadership Dinner Saturday, October 22 at 6:30 - 10 p.m. To purchase tickets click here.
