Creating A Successful Entry

Application Fees / Payment

Please note, the application fee is non-refundable. Be sure to review the application criteria and eligibility prior to entering your submission.

Absolutely No Fatalities
No project with a safety related fatality may be accepted for the competition.

References Needed
Reference letters are required—request those letters sooner than later!

Keep Records
Ensure that all man-hours are recorded throughout the project, including for any subcontractors you’ve hired.
Maintain a comprehensive list of all subcontractors on the project and identify which are fellow ABC members.
Gather your OSHA 300 and 300A forms for all years the project was under construction.

Project Progress Photos Needed
Take high-quality photographs along the way so you can document the project in progress, in addition to those perfect shots of the final product.
