What a cool concept! "The Builder's Choice Award"
It wouldn't be hard, just take some legwork the first year.  Print some 
ballots with the categories, or provide an internet page where it could 
be downloaded and printed.  Or someone who is there for the week passes 
out ballots as homebuilts arrive. Fill in N number at the top to insure 
1 per homebuilt.  Homebuilders always walk around to see how other's 
have done it anyway (at least I do).  As they're walking around, they 
can fill in a blank with the N number of their choice for each category, 
then mail them in.  Someone counts them and sends out 
badges/stickers/whatever as awards.

The powers that be will ignore it until the prestige starts 
showing...builders show up displaying their Builder's Choice Award more 
proudly than a Lindy.  They'll take it over and do all the legwork from 
that point on.
