2023 VICA Awards Gala
The Vancouver Island Construction Association is pleased to announce the 4th Annual VICA Awards Gala.
This one-of-a-kind industry event will formally recognize the work VICA members do across Vancouver Island, the Gulf Islands, and coastal British Columbia.
After two years of virtual award shows, we’re excited to announce that we will be returning to an in-person celebration at the Delta Ocean Pointe on April 14th.
The awards are open to all Vancouver Island Construction Association (VICA) Industry Members in good standing at the time of submission and are judged by a panel of esteemed industry professionals from across the industrial, commercial, institutional, civil, and multi-family residential construction sectors.
The VICA Awards are Vancouver Island’s premier construction industry awards, attended and viewed by key players of the ICI and multi-residential construction sector, as well as the larger Vancouver Island Community.
The 2023 submission period is now open. The 2023 VICA Awards are open to all VICA Industry Members in good standing. Nominees must have been VICA Members for a minimum of six (6) months at the time of submission. Submissions for the VICA Awards can be self-nominated or independently nominated.
Please review the criteria and conditions prior to submitting your nomination.
VICA Award nomination submissions must be received before 12:00 PM, February 17, 2023 (PDT).
