Entries for the 2025 UMCA Golden Trowel Awards are due to be submitted online by Friday, April 19th. We are hoping for each contractor to enter AT LEAST one entry each this year. We encourage our supplier members to reach out to your contractors to help encourage them to enter projects that you know should be highlighted in this year's program. Liz is willing to spend an hour with each contractor to help complete entry forms as well if this is helpful. We can also help find you someone to take photographs of your project.
