The International Excellence in Masonry Awards competition is scheduled for Wednesday, February 21, 2007 at Masonry Showcase in Orlando, Florida. Members of the MCAA realize that quality masonry projects are the result of strong creative vision and skilled execution. The purpose of the Awards is to give recognition to mason contractors, architects and building owners for outstanding accomplishments in masonry design and construction.

This year we are introducing an industry partnership at the awards reception. Members of the National Concrete Masonry Association (NCMA) will also be in attendance at the event, and they will present their annual Design and Safety Awards. This cooperative reception will provide both networking opportunities and a forum to exchange and highlight innovative design ideas.

To enter a masonry project in the Excellence in Masonry program, download an entry form or contact the MCAA at 800-536-2225 for an entry form. Submissions must be received by November 13, 2006.
