Roofing contractors across North America can submit their top low- and steep-slope asphalt roofing projects from the past three years for a chance to win.

The Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association (ARMA) is excited to announce that the 2025 Excellence in Asphalt Roofing Awards Program is now open for submissions. Roofing contractors across North America can submit their top low- and steep-slope asphalt roofing projects from the past three years for a chance to win by December 1, 2024.

This prestigious program provides roofing contractors with a unique platform to showcase their exceptional work, enhance their business profiles and exhibit their passion for the industry. Every year, ARMA receives numerous submissions that underscore asphalt roofing as the premier choice for residential and commercial projects.

"The Excellence in Asphalt Roofing Awards Program is a celebration of the skill, creativity, and dedication that define our industry," stated Reed Hitchcock, ARMA executive vice president. "We encourage contractors to submit their most impressive asphalt roofing projects, regardless of size or complexity, to demonstrate the true potential and versatility of asphalt roofing."

Participation in the awards program is free, and contractors are welcome to submit multiple entries. Each submission should highlight exemplary skills in asphalt roofing and include detailed project descriptions and high-quality images.

Entries will be judged on four criteria:

I. Why asphalt – Why was asphalt the roofing solution? What circumstances existed with the building, and what benefits made it clear that asphalt was the best roofing choice?

II. Project challenges – Were there any technical, operational, or environmental challenges successfully overcome through the innovative use of asphalt roofing materials? Does the project demonstrate the reliability, durability and overall system strength of asphalt roofing? 

III. Distinction – Why is this project different from its peers? Was the quality of the craftsmanship extraordinary, and were there any circumstances, pre-existing conditions, or challenges that made it stand out? Can this project be considered a step above the rest?

IV. Beauty – Does the project showcase an aesthetic appeal or exhibit impressive technical complexity? Does it possess visual allure or intrigue, elevating the skyline, building use or design?

A panel of esteemed judges, comprising roofing industry experts, will evaluate and score the submissions. In recognition of their exceptional achievement, the top projects will be awarded monetary prizes: $2,000 for Gold, $1,000 for Silver and $500 for Bronze.

In addition to the prominent awards, judges may recommend projects for specific Best-in-Class Categories, each recognizing one winner:

  • In the neighborhood – This category showcases homes that combine affordability with style. It focuses on how color and design choices can elevate the appearance of a typical neighborhood home. 
  • Commercial/mixed use – This category focuses on the complexities of flat roof projects. These projects are multifaceted, involving numerous components that work together to create a waterproof roofing system found in commercial, industrial, educational, data centers, hospitals, retail and other non-pitched roof systems. 
  • Craftsmanship – Roofing is an art, and it takes a true craftsman to install roofing materials on complex structures such as steeples, turrets, and geodesic designs or large flat roofing projects exceeding 1,000 squares. These projects blend skill and artistry, showcasing intricate designs and sheer sizes. This category is open to low- and steep-slope applications.
  • Technical difficulty – This category emphasizes operational and installation challenges, including projects involving multiple penetrations, work during nighttime, skyscraper steeples and cold weather applications. Contractors share the challenges of orchestrating the job, ensuring a safe environment and addressing the various design aspects.

Winning companies will receive an official ARMA certificate, promotional materials, national and local trade media exposure, and features on ARMA’s website and social media platforms. Winners will also be recognized at the 2025 International Roofing Expo, which will take place from February 19-21, 2025, in San Antonio, Texas.

“Make sure to submit your finest work before the deadline to stand out among the best in the industry,” Hitchcock emphasized.
