Registration for contestants and judges will open on October 3rd, 2022 and run until November 4th, 2022 for the 2023 MASONRY MADNESS® Day Competitions.

Given the interest we have seen on our social media channels, particularly for the Fastest Trowel On The Block, we imagine that the spots will be taken at a record pace.Â
