Eligibility of Submissions
Awards Conditions
The VICA Awards are open to all VICA Members in good standing. Nominees must have been VICA Members for a minimum of six (6) months at time of submission. Submissions can be self-nominated or independently nominated.
A VICA Member may only submit ONE (1) nomination per category.
- The Chair of the VICA Board of Directors is not eligible to be nominated during the year in which he or she holds such a position.
- The decision of the Awards Committee is final and not subject to appeal.
- An award may not be presented if, in the opinion of the judges, no suitable candidate has been nominated for the specific category.
- If the entry contains any feature that is, or could be, protected by patent rights the submission must be accompanied by written evidence demonstrating that the necessary steps have been taken to secure the requisite legal protection; neither the sponsor of the VICA Award nor the Vancouver Island Construction Association (VICA) can assume any responsibility for “prior disclosure” in advance of a patent application.
- All submissions in support of a Nominee for the VICA Awards become the property of VICA.
- All photographs submitted with VICA Award nominations also become the property of VICA.
