Sixth annual Hardscape Project Awards now accepting entries

Words: Derek SpurlockHardscape North America is now accepting entries for the 6th Annual HNA Hardscape Project Awards to be presented during HNA 2013 Awards Breakfast being held on Friday October 25, 2013 at the Hyatt Regency Louisville in Louisville, KY.

The HNA Hardscape Project Awards recognize the contractor’s ability to create outstanding hardscape projects. Twenty-four award categories include residential and commercial applications using a variety of products including concrete pavers, clay pavers, and segmental retaining walls and projects of different sizes. The deadline to submit entries is Wednesday, September 18, 2013.

“There are many hardscape awards programs available to designers but the HNA Hardscape Project Awards truly recognizes the quality of construction and craftsmanship by the contractor”, says ICPI Chairman of the Board, Dave Carter of OAKS Concrete Products.

Past HNA Hardscape Project Award winner Parker Condit, Marketing Director of JB's Landscaping LLC told us that “we have received unbelievable feedback after the HNA Hardscape Project Award was presented to us. It was such an honor to be recognized for everything we put into that project and we are still seeing the residual effects, months later. It's nice that we don't have to verbally prove our level of quality or creativity with prospective customers. The award and recognition is like a stamp of approval. All in all, winning the HNA Hardscape Project Award has been a great experience. We can't wait for the next big project!"

The early bird entry fee is $100 for members (ICPI, BIA or NCMA) and $200 for non-members, which ends September 4th. After that the entry fee is $140 for members and $240 for non-members. Projects for consideration must have been completed between November 1, 2009 and June 30, 2013.

The winning entries will be featured in Interlock Design Magazine and other trade publications as well as on the HNA website at HardscapeNA.com.

The HNA Hardscape Project Awards breakfast is open to all HNA registrants as an optional ticketed event. Tickets are $19 per person or $150 for a reserved table of eight.

The HNA Hardscape Project Awards are produced by the Interlocking Concrete Pavement Institute, National Concrete Masonry Association and the Brick Industry Association.
