2010 CAROLINAS CHAPTER
INTERNATIONAL CONCRETE REPAIR INSTITUTE
PROJECT OF THE YEAR AWARD
As announced at the Annual Conference and in the last Connection
Newsletter, it is official; there is now a simplified PoY
Application!
In an effort to increase project submissions to our annual Project
of the Year Award program we have posted a more streamlined option
for submitting. Please note that this format is NOT able to be used
for submitting to the National ICRI.
The National PoY submission deadline is May and our Chapter is
September. If you are submitting a project to National in May you
can simple submit a copy of that to us by our deadline. Should your
project completion deadline miss the National you may utilize our
formatted template as part of your National submittal to reduce
duplication. Please follow the link to the National ICRI website for
updated rules and information.
This Express format is a two part process, Part A allows for
providing the general project information through a series of text
fields and drop down menus. To reduce the amount of typing you will
now use a series of check boxes for highlighting Material
Technology, Investigation Methods and Surface Preparation Methods.
Simply click and choose!
The only “storyline” typing required is the Abstract section in
which you will give a 500 word maximum overview of the project. The
last section is a 300 word maximum What Makes This Project a Winner
section.
The second document is Part B; this is just for your pictures. On
the very first page is a written set of instructions for you to
follow. You are free to submit up to 10 photos on the preset 6
pages.
That is it! Part A consists of 3 pages of simple information and
Part B is just inserting your photographs. Download the two
documents from the web, fill them out, save them, type us an email,
attach the documents and your submission is complete!
It is our hope that this new simplified method will increase
participation and allow you to highlight your projects.
