Small Contractor Award
The Owner Operators have always been the backbone of our industry. For that reason, any small contractor(5 or fewer field employees) are automatically entered in this new small contractor award when they submit a project in one of the seven categories.The project that receives the most total votes from the panel of judges and the SPFA membership would win the prize! This would not affect the project’s chances in the chosen category their project is submitted in, but is an additional way to promote our smaller contractors. In other words, small contractors can win TWO prizes!
