Awards Program

  • Print

The National Asphalt Pavement Association’s Awards Program recognizes those in our industry who achieve excellence. NAPA awards are meaningful for the winners because they are bestowed by peers, but publicity reaches far beyond the NAPA membership. Winners are highlighted in industry publications throughout the country and recognized for the quality work they are doing.

 

NAPA's Awards Program presents special opportunities for recognizing and encouraging excellence. The program continues to expand with new categories. Recipients are recognized for their contributions to a job well done.

 

Read more about the NAPA's Awards Program and the 2018 Sheldon G. Hayes, Ray Brown Airport Pavement, Larry H. Lemon, and Quality in Construction Award winners by navigating with the left-side menu bar. The information includes write-ups on each winning project, photos from the Awards Breakfast (available for download), a slideshow of the winning pavements, and information about the history of the program.
