Gold Circle Awards Program – Entries Due October 12

The Gold Circle Awards program recognizes Alliance and NRCA members for outstanding contributions to the roofing industry.

Unique roofing-related jobs, programs and services completed between June 1, 2016, and May 21, 2018, are eligible for the program. To be considered for a Gold Circle Award, Alliance and NRCA members are nominated by their peers and community for significant contributions to the roofing industry in the following categories:

Categories

Outstanding Workmanship

Submit examples of a particularly challenging job, difficult design job, abnormal working conditions, difficult materials used, etc., to showcase your work.

Innovative Solutions

Did you have a particularly difficult job, find a smart solution to a problem or install environmentally friendly projects? Clearly explain what makes your project so innovative.

Safety Preparedness and Performance

Safety is paramount in roofing, and if you had a job that exemplified excellent safety preparedness, submit an entry that includes a description of the following:

• Specific safety considerations that were considered and included in the proposal as the job was being bid.
• The written safety plan created after selection.
• How safety was integrated into unique job elements that gave rise to creative solutions and procedures, for example, where multiple trades or unique worker or public protection issues existed.
• Examples of how and why the plan needed to be revised as the project continued.
• Your plan for fall prevention.
• What safety policies and/or procedures were revised/created as a result of a post-job safety review.

All entries will be evaluated by a panel of judges within the roofing industry. The highest-ranking entries will determine the winner.
