About the Masonry Excellence Awards

The Masonry Excellence Awards Program recognizes the outstanding achievements of Florida’s masonry contractors, architects, and industry partners whose work exemplifies excellence in masonry construction.

Rules, ELIGIBILITY & SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Any Florida Masonry member contractor, producer, or materials supplier may submit a project completed between January 1, 2020 and December 31, 2025.

Projects previously submitted may be resubmitted, provided they have not received a prior award.

Submitting contractor or supplier must be a current member of Florida Masonry (FMA) in good standing, and the project must be completed in the state of Florida.
Each contractor or company may submit up to five projects, with each submission requiring its own entry form and complete supporting documentation.

Projects must feature at least 75% masonry on the exterior structure. Stand-alone or specialty masonry features (e.g., fireplaces, waterfalls, decorative walls) must be 100% masonry or masonry veneer, including brick, block, stone, or glass block.

Projects must meet submission specifications to be considered. FMA Awards Committee reserves the right to reject entries for non-compliance.

A minimum of two entries per category is required for that category to be judged. FMA Awards Committee may reassign entries to a different category at its discretion.

Incomplete submissions may be disqualified or penalized during scoring.

PHOTO REQUIREMENTS

All project photos must be uploaded via the provided form (10MB limit).

If files exceed the upload limit, please send them separately to [email protected] via TransferBigFiles.com.

If the photos were taken by a professional photographer or a third party, a signed photo release form is required.

Contractors must obtain permission from the original photographer or photo owner prior to submitting. Entries submitted without proper photo rights may be disqualified.
