Technical Merit - Concrete in which the design, engineering or application is highly technical and worthy of consideration on its own merit.

Nominations will be accepted from any person or firm for any of their projects using concrete within Montana completed from Jan. 1 , 2009 - current. Projects constructed in phases are eligible for competition at the completion of each phase, as well as at the time of completion of the overall project.

Remember to take pictures of your projects for the submittal for the Concrete Excellence Awards because your entry is submitted to a judging panel whose only opportunity to evaluate the structure/project is through the best slides & pictures you can submit. For the project to be judged adequately, it is crucial that sufficient slides/pictures be submitted. All entries must also have a completed Entry and Submittal Form. Remember: Electronic submittals are encouraged!

The awards will be announced at the MCA Annual Convention during the Awards Banquet on Thursday, January 13, 2011 in Helena at the Great Northern Hotel. Pictures, slides and video tapes (if available) of the winning categories will be shown during the dinner.
