2024 Golden Trowel Nominations

The Golden Trowel Award was created in 1989 to recognize and encourage excellence in all phases of masonry construction and design.

This time-honored tradition has since become the Flagship Awards Event of our industry. Projects from around the state compete in ten categories – both at the regional level and again at the state level.

Annually, the Texas Masonry Council recognizes the most outstanding projects of the year, as well as the architects, contractors, and suppliers who demonstrate excellence in the design and use of masonry products.
