Public voting will be open until midnight, April 30, after which time the panel of mostly esteemed judges will add their weighted scores to the totals and determine winners in each category. Winners will be announced on May 18 at the Citadel of Hope on Venable Street at the GROUNDBREAKERS 2016 event.

Best Single-Family Residential Renovation 2305 Venable Street |

Best Single-Family Residential Renovation 801 North 27th Street |
Yes. So many great projects! I’m voting for 2305 Venable St but I’m a little biased.
They have the East End theater listed twice under the Adaptive Reuse category on the Golden Hammer website. Who do you contact about that?
These are all pretty awesome, but one question – are these projects completed last year? What’s the cutoff/how does it work, year to year?
@Lee – the cutoff is usually sometime in March now, but yes, it’s essentially projects completed in the last year
Isn’t it a shame that block of houses on 2500 O Street didn’t qualify this year. Hint – Hint
I remember having a conversation last year that they for sure would be a favorite for an award this year.
Tim, I agree with you! One house has been completed and should have been nominated.
Can a write in nomination / campagn be instituted here? Why can’t a petition be started?
It was an open nominating process, but there was a deadline /2016/03/04/nominations-now-open-for-2016-golden-hammer-awards_49191/
I’m voting for 2305 Venable St! That is Sweet looking…I wondering if there is a diamond ring in there… 🙂
