The build-up to the 2024 CMA awards

The Concrete Manufacturers Association (CMA) officially launched the 2024 Awards for Excellence competition on 9 May 2023. Members have until 28 May 2024 to submit their entries. There are two entry categories – namely Aesthetic Excellence and Engineering Excellence – each split into seven and eight subcategories, respectively.

The biennial event is one of the highlights on the construction industry’s calendar and presents an outstanding opportunity for members, both large and small, to showcase their products and to establish themselves as trendsetters.

“As in 2022, videos will be made of all entry submissions and these will be posted on the CMA’s social media platforms, which will provide outstanding levels of focused exposure in the lead-up to the judging in 2024,” explains Henry Cockcroft, director, CMA.

“For example, 210 000 views on social media –equivalent to 575 hours of accumulated social media view time – were achieved in 2022. And for the 2024 competition, we will build on our 2022 knowledge to make improvements and gain even more exposure.”

Besides the completed entry form, each submission requires footage comprised of seven photographs and/or videos accompanied by a 450-word project description motivating the entry.

Judging, done by an independent panel of construction professionals, will take place in July 2024 and the award results will be announced as soon as the digital winners’ book is completed in the final quarter of 2024.
