Description

In 2018, AGC of America celebrated 100 years of serving the construction industry. In order to recognize this milestone, AGC introduced the Innovation Awards to provide a platform to encourage free thinkers within the construction industry to provide inventive solutions to the construction challenges that are faced daily.  Examples of issues needing innovative solutions include, but are not limited to:

  • Workforce shortage and lack of diversity
  • Technology advancements
  • Jobsite safety
  • Sustainability
  • Project complexity

    Prizes: Judges will determine the top three finalists by mid-January 2021. Those top three finalists will be invited to present to the panel of judges at the beginning of the AGC’s Annual Convention, March 29 - April 1, 2021 in Orlando, FL and the winners during the opening session of AGC's Annual Convention. Winners will be celebrated in Constructor Magazine and in the press. This information about the finalists can be added to their chapter and/or company’s website.
