Registration will open soon. | 7 REASONS TO ENTER THE 2024 UMCA GOLDEN AWARDS 1. Free Advertising Yes, that's right, UMCA does not charge an entry fee. You get the chance to show off your project without paying for it. Every project's photos are shown at the banquet in front of your team, suppliers, other contractors and architects. Plus, the top two winners get their projects posted online and advance to the TMC Golden Trowel banquet. 2. Photos This gives you an excuse to take photos of your projects. If you're like a lot of contractors and suppliers, you would like to have photos of your previous projects because you're proud of them. But you never remember. Here's a way to make sure you do. 3. Recognize your team Your team works hard every day. I hear people talking about the industry bringing back pride. Invite your team's leaders in the field to show them how proud you are of their work. Want to see pride? Watch their faces when they see their projects come up on the screen. It's even better when they get to accept an award! 4. Promote masonry with architects Promoting masonry was the reason the awards were originally developed- to recognize architects for designing with masonry. They hold the power to design more work with masonry. Let's recognize those architects that continue to design with the best materials Masonry! 5. Thank your Supplier Partners None of your projects get done without materials and equipment. These companies are a vital part of making or breaking the projects. Let them celebrate with you. 6. Thank your General Contractors/Construction Managers You got the project done together. Celebrate it together. If you're a mason contractor, most likely the GCs and CMs are your customers. Take the time to thank them for partnering with you to make the project a success. 7. Awesome Award Everyone loves getting awards. When you see them, you'll want one of your own for your company's display shelf! You can find the Rules & Regulations, as well as the online submission form from Texas Masonry Council below. A few tips for submission:
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. Categories A Golden Trowel Award and Honorable Mention are awarded for each of the following categories:
We recognize that sometimes it is hard to determine which category a project should be submitted into, so if you are having a hard time deciding, please feel free to reach out to Liz Graves at 512.633.5437 or liz@umcadfw.org. |
