Purpose
The Montana Contractors’ Association has developed the Highway Excellence Awards Program to honor exceptional project teams in the area’s highway construction industry. These prestigious awards recognize MCA members for their excellence in the overall construction process on individual projects in this area.
This awards program provides a great opportunity to showcase quality work in the highway construction industry and to the general public. Every entry will be included in the attractive full-color brochure that will be produced and inserted into the Montana Contractor News and posted on the MCA Website.
Eligibility
Only MCA members are eligible to enter the awards competition. Projects must be constructed by MCA members having a direct contractual relationship with the project’s owner.
