Words: Mason Contractors

Nominations are officially OPEN for the Masonry Hall of Fame Presented By SOLA's Class Of 2023. To submit a nomination, log into your MCAA account and visit the hall of fame page.

Nominations will close at midnight on May 19th, 2023. 

We encourage anyone who knows someone that might deserve the recognition to submit a nomination. Please be as descriptive as possible in the nomination, and remember that the judging panel may not be as familiar with the individual as you are. 

Please call the MCAA at 800.536.2225 with any questions. 

MCAA Strategic Partner, SOLA, will again serve as the sole sponsor for the 2023 Hall Of Fame.
