Photo Contest 2018 Winners! | |
Winners of 2018 Photo Contest Announced
Premier global manufacturer of steel countertop supports awards prize monies and charitable donations totaling $21,000 in inaugural year of program.
ST. AUGUSTINE, FLA., DEC. 10, 2018—Centerline Brackets, a division of Centerline Steel, LLC, proudly announces winners of its 2018 Photo Contest and the awarding of $11,000 in total prize monies to top scorers in multiple categories.
John Mitchell of Metairie, La. , was named Grand Prize winner after his entry depicting the complete remodeling of a home kitchen with a contemporary design and clean lines was judged best overall. For his win, Mitchell, who entered the Front-Mounting/Front-Mounting PLUS Support Bracket category, received $5,000.
“Using Centerline Brackets in our kitchen renovation allowed us to maintain the structural and aesthetic integrity of the design,” Mitchell says. “The low profile of the [brackets] and the countersunk screw holes made installation and concealment easy. The strength of the brackets gave us assurance that the 13-foot span of walnut wood was secure. The stunning corner cantilever would not have been possible without Centerline Brackets.”
The following individuals each won
$1,000 for achieving highest average scores in their respective categories:
· Center-Levered Bar-Support Bracket: Jim Englund, Orlando, Fla. · Floating Wall-Mount Bracket: Kelly Buczniewicz, Hazel Park, Mich. · Front-Mounting/Front-Mounting PLUS Support Bracket : Frank Barrera, South Pasadena, Calif. · Island Support/Island Support System Bracket : Danelle Dapp, Fort Wayne, Ind. · Spanning Support Bracket: Michael McCall, Binghamton, N.Y.
· Standard/Standard PLUS/Forward L
Granite Support Bracket
: Kurt Maynard, Palmetto, Fla.
Mitchell, who for the past 11 years has served as events catering manager for Audubon Nature Institute in New Orleans, praised the customer service he received from Centerline when ordering his brackets by phone.
“I’m just a guy who likes to have stuff done right,” Mitchell says of his DIY project. “It’s always nice when the person taking your order also understands what you’re trying to do with the product.”
Contest entries were evaluated by outside professionals in interior design, marketing and photography. Criteria for entry included submitting a minimum of three digital images depicting action of installing Centerline support brackets, the installed brackets alone, and the completed project—which in most cases did not show the brackets due to their being inconspicuous or “hidden” from casual view.
The contest was open to all Centerline customers around the world.
“This was our first photo contest and, not knowing what to expect, we were quite pleased with the turnout,” says Tracy Smith, founding co-owner and CEO of Centerline Brackets, a majority-woman-owned company in the nation’s oldest city that produces steel brackets known industrywide for their quality, strength and affordability by builders, installers, homeowners and design centers globally.
“Excitement erupted in the office each time a new entry arrived, and we’d all check it out. Mostly, it was thrilling to see the different projects and ways our brackets provide solutions to customers.” Adds Smith, plans are already under way to hold a second photo contest in 2019.
In addition to prize monies, Centerline committed to donating $10,000 to the Grand Prize winner’s choice from a list of several well-known philanthropic organizations in the United States. Discussing the opportunity with Mitchell led Centerline to donate $5,000 to St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, Tenn., and $5,000 to the Jacksonville, Fla.-based Wounded Warrior Project.
The inaugural photo contest caps Centerline’s sixth-anniversary celebration in 2018. To view winning entries, visit www.CountertopBracket.com.
