Showcase your best metal work

By Emma Peterson. 

Want to show off your crew’s hard work? Enter your metal projects into ATAS International’s 2026 Project of the Year competition. 

ATAS International, a leading manufacturer of metal roofing, wall cladding, ceilings, interiors and accessories, has opened submissions to their annual project of the year contest! This competition is now in its 37th year, having started in 1989. The contest celebrates a variety of projects across seven categories, including commercial roofs, commercial walls, residential roofs, residential walls, accents, sustainable and interiors.  

ATAS’ Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Jim Bush, described the contest, sharing, “The diversity and creative application of metal panels [shown in the contest] highlights the durability, aesthetics and adaptability that metal contributes to today’s architectural design and construction. Overall, these outstanding projects [we see submitted] reflect the innovation and craftsmanship that continue to advance our industry.”  

The rules 

Projects must utilize product profiles manufactured by ATAS. Further, they must be completed “within the preceding calendar year.” Meaning, for the 2026 contest, projects from January 2025-December 2025 will be eligible.  

There is no entry fee to the contest, and you may enter as many projects as you like. Your entries must include one or more digital files showcasing your project. You are encouraged to submit multiple photos, both comprehensive and close-up. File should be in .jpg format and at least 500 kb.  

Please note: Material submitted becomes the property of ATAS and may be used for future promotional activities. 

The timeline 

Your submission must be in by November 30, 2026, to be judged in the 2026 contest. Once submissions close, a panel of judges, independent of ATAS International, Inc., will determine the winners. 

The reward 

Winning projects will get national coverage in trade publications, press releases and during ATAS’ annual awards dinner in May. This is a great way to show your crew your pride in their craftsmanship and show your potential customers the quality of your work!
