​At World of Concrete

By Dan Kamys
Algonquin, Il., February 11, 2020 — The 21st MCAA Masonry Skills Challenge was held on February 5, 2020 during MASONRY MADNESS® at the World of Concrete. The competition is designed to showcase the best apprentices the industry has to offer.

The MCAA Masonry Skills Challenge is a competition to demonstrate the skills training in the industry, challenging winning apprentices from regional U.S. and foreign competitions to determine the top masonry apprentices at each level. The spotlight is on the world’s finest young masons, and focuses attention on careers in the masonry industry.


Each contestant was presented with a project drawing appropriate to their skill level just moments before the competition began. Contestants had three hours to construct their respective project using the materials provided. Final projects looked great, and apprentices and instructors should be proud of the hard work. Judges were impressed with the quality of the apprentices’ construction, and had the tough decision of choosing the winners.

After the judges completed their scoring using the MCAA’s new scoring app with Sonim XP8 smartphones running the MCAA Perks Program’s Sprint network, the results were announced.
