The Master Builders Association NSW, Ulladulla Office held their annual awards on Saturday at the Ulladulla Civic Centre.
More than 350 people attended and were entertained by Frankie J Holden MC, comedian Brad Manuel and local band The Swaggers.
There was a record number of entries this year which all were judged individually by Judges Ross Meredith and Bruce Cohen over three weeks, averaging 10 projects per day, from Bombala in the south, Young in the west up to Lavender Bay in the north.
The judges commented how difficult it was to select the winners of each category due to the outstanding work presented and noted all builders should be very proud of what they presented this year.
