The Marble Institute of America has issued a call for entries for the 2008 Pinnacle Awards competition, which are being expanded to include a best-of-show 'Grande Pinnacle Award,' and a trip to Verona, Italy for its winner.
'With the addition of the Grande Pinnacle Award to our traditional categories of interior commercial, exterior commercial, residential interior/exterior and restoration/renovation, there are even more compelling reasons to enter this year's Pinnacle Awards competition,' said Gary Distelhorst, executive v.p. of MIA.
The Grande Pinnacle Award will be bestowed on the best entry among all of the category winners. The new award is sponsored by Marmomacc, the world's largest stone show, held each year in Verona, Italy. The winner of the award will receive one round-trip economy airfare to Verona, four-night hotel room, meals and registration to Marmomacc 2009.
The Pinnacle Awards competition is open to all MIA member companies. The entry deadline is July 10. Information is available at www.marble-institute.com, or by calling the MIA at (440) 250-9222.
The Marble Institute of America has a membership that includes marble, granite, limestone, sandstone and other natural stone producers.
