OUR BEST PROJECTS MAPEI’s internal contest rewards creative project solutions The judges have spoken for MAPEI North America’s annual “Show! Place! Win!” competition, which represents the best reference projects in the United States and Canada. Each submitted project showcases the development, renovation and/or restoration process, including architectural design, challenges faced (weather, time constraints, etc.) and the solutions provided by MAPEI’s high-performance products.

Each project is then hand-selected by the senior leadership committee for submittal to the International Reference Grand Prix, MAPEI’s international competition in Italy. Characteristics of a winning submission include innovative construction, technical details, step-bystep photography and impressive beauty shots. The judging panel at the MAPEI Group headquarters in Italy reviews hundreds of projects in specialized categories and chooses who will receive the honor of recognition and a monetary reward.

Grand Prix winners reflect the best of the best, whether it be highquality historical renovations, urban residential designs, high-rise hotels, sports arenas or significant structures that are vital to the community (as was the case of the Oroville Dam Spillway solution that saved an entire community). It is an outstanding accomplishment for a MAPEI sales representative to be notified that their project was selected from over 450 entries from around the world. Here are just 8 of the 23 projects that won in 2019. Each of these projects demonstrated innovation, teamwork, aesthetic design and quality construction. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
