The first-ever Northern Ohio Decorative Concrete Competition awarded prizes in April for quality overlay and stamp work. The contest was held at the Cuyahoga County Fairgrounds in Berea, Ohio. Ultimate Overlay, based in Huntsburg, Ohio, won in the overlay category with a wood-grain pattern achieved with a two-coating system and stenciling. The company took home $300 cash. Cornerstone Concrete Designs, of Orrville, Ohio, won the Grand Prize in the stamp competition for a design featuring a cross and bordered corners. It was awarded a $1,000 travel certificate for getting to the 2006 World Of Concrete, plus free seminars and conference registration courtesy of publisher Hanley Wood. Cutting Edge Construction of Richfield, Ohio, won second place for stamping, while the Cement Masons Local 404 of Cleveland came in third. The contest was organized by The Chas E. Phipps Co., a Cleveland-based distributor of decorative concrete contracting supplies. It was held in conjunction with the company’s annual training seminar, the Decorative Concrete Forum. The company solicited entries from decorative concrete contractors throughout Ohio. At the event, five competed in the overlay category and seven in the stamp category. Phipps Co. plans to host the competition again next year. All contractors are welcome to compete, whether they are based in Ohio or not.
