$75 Isn’t Much to Pay to Promote Your Work

That’s how much entering our annual Polished Concrete Awards costs. Even if your project doesn’t win, your crew’s work will be highlighted forever on the first website that appears when anyone Googles “concrete surfaces.” And that is priceless.

Trade magazines tell readers that savvy business owners use award programs to market their company. We here at Concrete Surfaces are no different. Winning is the only time your crew will be recognized by people who understand how difficult it can be to deliver the floor the owner envisions. Winners always say the award makes crew members proud.

We’ve received one submission so far this year (we can always count on the Aussies!). This is a gentle prod to start thinking about what projects you’d like to enter. You’ll have to submit photos (preferably before and after shots), which sometimes take time to track down. Deadline’s not until Sept. 15, but time flies.

Here are last year’s winners. We’ve tweaked the categories since then but, as always, will bestow a Readers’ Choice award on the entry that receives the most votes from people who visit our website at http://www.concreteconstruction.net/brand/concrete-surfaces.

So what’ve you got to lose? Bring it on!
