Natural Stone Institute Awards: Deadline This Week
OBERLIN, Ohio – There’s still time to get entries in for the roster of National Stone Institute honors … but it’s only a few days.
The entry deadline, including those for the 2018 Pinnacle Awards, will close this Friday (July 20).
Institute members are especially encouraged to take part in the Pinnacles, one of natural stone’s most-prestigious honors.
The Pinnacle Awards pay tribute to projects where beauty, creativity, ingenuity, and craftsmanship exemplify professional mastery in the use of natural stone for commercial and residential applications.
Four new categories have been introduced this year, allowing for a broader range of natural stone craftsmanship to be showcased and honored. Pinnacle Awards will be given in the following seven categories:
- Commercial Interior
- Commercial Exterior
- Renovation/Restoration
- Residential Interior/Exterior—Single Family (New category)
- Residential Interior/Exterior—Multi-Family (New category)
- Architectural Carving/Lettering/Sculpture (New category)
- Public Landscapes/Parks/Memorials (New category)
A Grande Pinnacle Award (sponsored by Marmomac) will be presented to the best overall project. An award for the best use of Brazilian stone (sponsored by Vitoria Stone Fair) will also be available within each category.
The Pinnacle Awards are open to all institute member companies. Project teams must include at least one institute member company, and projects must have been completed no more than three years prior to the submission date.
The Natural Stone Institute would like to thank the following companies for sponsoring the Pinnacle Awards: MAPEI (Commercial Awards),
