    Awards Submittals

    AWARD PROGRAM INFORMATION

    Every Fall, the MCA conducts an annual "Excellence in Concrete" awards program which honors outstanding concrete projects that were constructed in the previous year. Concrete construction projects are rated annually to determine the best projects designed and constructed or restored during the past year. 

     

    The MCA Awards Program is intended to encourage high-quality workmanship in every concrete project.  This program recognizes the contractor, project owner, and engineer (where appropriate).

    The award plaques are presented at the annual workshop and conference typically held in February each year.

     

    Nominations for Projects are open NOW!
