Building on the program's success the past two years, CDA and CCBDA have issued a call for entries for the 2010 competition. The goal of the awards program is to recognize and promote the innovative use of copper and copper alloys in the design of residential and commercial building projects throughout the United States and Canada.
Projects are honored under the categories of Restoration and New Construction.
