Saint-Gobain competition open for entries

The winner of the SA national trophy will enjoy an all-expenses paid trip with travel in business class to Berlin and will receive a professional photographic shoot of their project.

A call for entries from South Africa is being spear-headed by Saint-Gobain Gyproc, where a national winner will be identified to travel to Berlin to compete in one of six categories of the International Trophy competition, which is expected to attract entries from over 37 countries with the submission of over 100 construction projects. The projects will typically be a collection of the world's most interesting and newest buildings.

Saint-Gobain are proud sponsors of this International Trophy, which aims to promote world class skills in drywall technology and plastering in construction projects, encouraging and recognising contractors for their contribution to innovation in the industry. Projects are entered and judged in six categories, including plasterboard, plasterer solutions, innovation, segment solutions (education/hospitals/hotels), and residential and mixed use (commercial, including leisure and retail).
