Completed submissions must be received no later than February 1, 2009. National contracting professionals will select up to three winning tile or stone contractors for projects in both Residential and Commercial categories, based on a number of criteria that emphasize installation excellence.

Grand Prize winners in Residential and Commercial categories will receive $1,500 in cash. Award of Merit winners will receive $750 and Honorable Mention recognition winners will receive $250. All winners will be recognized at the NTCA Awards ceremony at Coverings 2009 in Chicago, Illinois, and will be featured in an upcoming issue of TileLetter.
