The Masonry Veneer Manufacturers Association (MVMA) announced its third-annual MVMA Design Awards, a program created to recognize the work of industry professionals who are setting trends by featuring manufactured stone veneer in their projects.

“Our goal is to recognize leaders in the manufactured stone industry by highlighting their design successes,” says Mike Fischer, MVMA general manager. “This year’s theme of Natural Beauty Fashioned in Stone aims to showcase the beauty and authenticity of manufactured stone.”

Entering is free, and all entries should be submitted online at www.MasonryVeneerDesignAwards.com by Dec. 31, 2011. Submissions require high-resolution images of the completed project. An independent judging panel will announce winners at the MVMA Design Awards in February 2012.
