The annual PCI Design Awards competition is under way for 2010 and now is the time to submit your project for consideration. For 48 years, the Precast/Prestressed Concrete Institute has recognized outstanding projects for excellence in design and construction quality using precast/prestressed concrete. These projects demonstrate how designers are continuing to utilize precast, prestressed concrete components to achieve more cost-effective, sustainable, aesthetically pleasing, and quickly constructed projects. The two principal award categories are Buildings and Transportation Structures. There are also three special award categories: Best Sustainable Design, Best All-Precast Structure, and the prestigious Harry H. Edwards Award for innovation.

There is NO FEE to enter.
