This photo will need to be a good quality, high resolution photo, 300 dpi or higher (please check the settings on your camera). Photos in jpg files are preferred.

Submit your entries with photos on a jump drive or email to [email protected]. No PowerPoint please. High resolution photos tend to clog up the email boxes, so jump drive may be the best delivery vehicle.

The project description on the enclosed form should summarize the details of the project and tell why you feel it is unique or special in 200 words or less; (these 200 words are the summary that will be used at the awards ceremony if the award entry is selected). CPG reserves the right to edit submittals to fit into the awards format. You may add additional verbiage as necessary to communicate your ideas to the award jury. The additional comments are withheld at the award ceremony to expedite the ceremony.

We are happy to accept a check when submitting the awards, arrangements can be made for CPG to invoice you or you may go to Click Here for a link to pay the fee online with a credit card. The online pay is only up and available until September 18th, at which time the online ability will close.


Judging Concrete best practices, design, aesthetics, overcoming obstacles, safety considerations, innovative

use of new techniques, systems or technology, all come into judging consideration.

The jury has the right to move projects from a submitted category to another category.

The jury may choose not to name a winner for a specific category based on submissions.

The jury will be looking for a project that rises above all the other entries for the Judges Award. All projects will be considered, but the jury is not obligated to award the Judges Award every year, only when a project fits the need.

Pictures always play a very important role in the selection process. Remember the judges do not go to each submittal site; they make decisions based on the pictures submitted. The clarity and quality of the pictures make a huge difference.
