Shotcrete Spotlight Nomination Form

Shotcrete Spotlight Nomination Form

Shotcrete magazine is initiating a new column that will highlight the work done by individuals or teams within ASA's member organizations.

There are three categories to nominate an individual or team/crew in:

    1. Shotcreter & Field Crews - the people who prep, shoot, sculpt, and finish the everyday jobs, the award­ winning jobs, and everything in between
    2. Support Staff – those who make the completion of shotcrete projects possible, behind the scenes
    3. Women in Shotcrete – highlighting the impact women have on the industry

Publication Frequency: As space is available in Shotcrete magazine, these columns will be released a maximum of one per issue in each category at the discretion of ASA's editorial staff. Some submissions may also be shared via ASA's social media channels if we have a hearty influx of nominations. Unlike ASA's annual awards, only staff review is involved. Thus, generally when you submit a nomination, as space allows, your spotlight(s) will be published.

Please read our announcement about the new column in the Q4 2023 issue of Shotcrete magazine where you will find more information.  

Leaders or colleagues who submit nominations for this column will have a chance to review a proof of the column before publication. Please note, when you submit this nomination, pre-approval from the individual(s) to use their pictures and names in Shotcrete magazine is required and they may be interviewed as part of the story write up process. All ASA's typical magazine-specific requirements, including signing a copyright form, providing photos, and responding to proofs by a deadline, still applies.

 

This nomination form is subject to change or revision at any time, and any updates will be provided here for your reference.

 

If you have any questions about Shotcrete Spotlight, please reach out to Cara Baker, Managing Editor, at [email protected].
