REGISTER NOW!

You will then be redirected to the registration page for the 2025 Keystone Awards.  You must login to complete an application using your PAAHQ login.  Once you are logged in you can navigate to complete the application by clicking on the yellow buttons from the home page or using the navigation bar across the top of the page to where you see the Enter Now tab.

For the Trilogy Award submission, you must complete each form separate of one another for Leasing, Maintenance, and Exterior Excellence.  Once you have submitted all three award applications, PAA will recognize your property as Trilogy Award Submission.  Because each form requires different fields to be completed, there is not one form that can be completed as a Trilogy Award Submission.

Once you have logged in, they system will automatically record any entries you have started. When you get to the end of the entry form, you have three choices to Checkout, Make Another Submission, or Print the Application. You can add multiple submission at one time.

Your entry to the Keystone Awards is not finalized until a payment is made with a credit card or you select the invoice me now option.

To review your applications and their status, please use the navigation bar on the left hand side of the page, clicking My Application.

You will get a confirmation e-mail confirming your submission.


The PAA is happy to announce that for the 2025 Keystone Awards Season, you can now review what your property will be shopped for. Please click on the buttons provided below for each property award to review the example shopping reports.
