How to participate

Submit with just three steps

Submissions must be your own original work. Everything else is up to your imagination.

01

Create your Revit family

Relate it to a seasonal or holiday theme — Christmas, Hanukkah, New Year's, or whatever winter means to you.

02

Post it on social

Share it on LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, or X. To be eligible, follow BIMsmith, tag BIMsmith, and use the hashtag.

03

Upload your file

Drop your .rfa and a screenshot of your post right here on the page. No forms to hunt down.

Judging criteria

How your work will be judged

A BIMsmith team of Revit experts and guest judges scores every entry on three criteria.

  • Creativity

    Get inspired and have some fun.

  • Execution

    How well did you build your family?

  • Functionality

    Does your family incorporate legitimately useful functionality?
