2026 World Of Concrete Judge Registration Now Open


REGISTER TO JUDGE HERE: Skills Competition & Fastest Trowel on the Block

The MCAA is officially accepting judge applications for the 2026 World of Concrete competitions in Las Vegas.

We invite experienced industry leaders to apply to judge the SkillsUSA and Fastest Trowel on the Block events. Your expertise is essential to the integrity and success of these competitions.

Please have your registration in by December 1st, 12/01/25.

To ensure the integrity and fairness of both events, the MCAA enforces a strict policy prohibiting any conflict of interest between a judge and a competitor.
For clarification:

  • Individuals who have an apprentice competing in the SkillsUSA competition are ineligible to serve as a judge for that event.

  • Similarly, individuals who have a Mason or Tender competing in the Fastest Trowel on the Block are ineligible to judge that competition.
The MCAA appreciates your cooperation in upholding these standards to ensure fair judging. We look forward to great competitions this January.
