2024 CHBA Prism Awards

The PRISM Awards & Gala was developed in 1988 by the Charleston Home Builders Association's Sales & Marketing Council to recognize excellence in the field of sales, marketing, construction, and the promotion of new homes. 

Over the years, the PRISM Awards & Gala has grown to encompass the growing market segments of the housing industry, such as green building, remodeling, development and the Associate Membership sector.

We are excited to host the 35th Annual PRISM Awards & Gala. This year, the Gala is open to all members of the CHBA to join in an eventful evening of the best of the best in the Lowcountry.
