Excellence in Masonry Awards 2019

It’s Time to Take your Photos!

Now is a good time to schedule photography for your Excellence in Masonry award entries.  Take advantage of good weather and sunshine in the Spring and Summer months to take capture better lighting, colorful landscaping, and the absence of snow/ice on the building.

Please submit quality photos from a high resolution SLR camera or use a professional photographer for your entry submissions. Photos taken from cell phone cameras do not provide quality images when enlarged for marketing purposes and will not represent your project in the best way.
