CMA AWARDS FOR EXCELLENCE

The 2024 Concrete Masonry Awards for Excellence competition was launched in May 2023 and CMA members have until 28 May 2024 to submit their entries. The competition will be staged to the same digital formula as the 2022 event.

The rationale for the extended submission period is that the competition is more about gaining visibility for the multiple applications of precast concrete than it is about winning an award. It is about creating an informative resource for engineers, architects, property developers and other professionals, encouraging them to tap into the many advantages of precast concrete.

The event presents an opportunity for CMA members to showcase their products digitally and establish themselves as trendsetters in the use of precast concrete.

There are two entry categories – Aesthetic Excellence and Engineering Excellence, each split into eight sub-categories, respectively. The winner of each category will receive an award certificate and floating trophies will be presented to four overall winners chosen from the category winners’ pool.

Besides the completed entry forms, each entry requires footage comprised of seven photos and/or videos, accompanied by a project description of 450 words to motivate the entry. Motivations are mandatory and should highlight either aesthetic and/or engineering elements. They will be used as the voice-over text for the production of the entry videos.

Judging will take place in July 2024 by an independent panel of construction professionals.
