The Decorative Concrete Council, a specialty council of the American Society of Concrete Contractors, has announced its awards program for decorative concrete projects.
The competition is open to ASCC members and nonmembers. The council invites entries in several categories, including stamped and special finishes, stained, stenciled, polished, countertops, vertical application and concrete artistry. Except for countertops, two awards will be available in each category. These two awards are for projects 1,500 square feet and less, and for projects of more than 1,500 square feet.
Projects will be judged on design, economy and craftsmanship, degree of difficulty, site compatibility, project challenges, ecological and environmental factors, and problem-solving.
The deadline for submittal is Aug. 31, 2008. They will present the awards at an ASCC event in 2009.
