What should a show bike be..revisited
I know the original post was closed so forgive me for wanting to comment but I came into it late.
Seems like poo pooing the awards for various reasons is pretty popular.
I'll feel a lot more convinced of the poo pooer's sincerity when one of them wins an award in NAHBS 2010 and refuses the award citing their principles.
Personally I would be excited and honored to win an award and just just try to believe that I won because my work was judged as fairly as possible to be the best in that category at that particular time.
if there must be awards at NAHBS 2010

After starting this post last night I started thinking about the judging process and started wondering how much involvement the builders themselves had originally in the criteria used for the judging.
Maybe this is a discussion that could be had.
I have a different slant on this subject than e-richie
I would be happy to see no awards at all
but
maybe
just maybe
one for the public to cruise along the booths having fun, picking one out some thing for "Peoples Choice"
because people like doing this.
but if there really has to be trophies handed out then
