This is so important for the future of our industry! High school students build in 4 project divisions, Sample Panel, Straight Lead, Corner Lead, and 8ft Long Wall. It’s not about who’s fastest. Judged by contractors, the overall points are tallied to see which school wins the privilege to display the prestigious Trophy on campus for the year, YES! For 20 solid years in a row, this Top Notch Trowel Jim Broncatello Perpetual Trophy has travelled from campus to campus. Individual medals Gold, Silver, Bronze symbolize individual placings and team standing. Thank You Judges who shared their leadership and valuable time.
