MCA Choice Award
The MCA Awards of Excellence Committee is searching for the best and most challenging projects to consider for the MCA Choice Award.

A panel of MCA members seeks out challenging projects completed by member companies and selects the project they feel is the most deserving.

- Showcases a truly professional team effort
- Unique or visionary in design, stands out aesthetically
- Evokes positive ideals through community service or historical preservation
- Achieved through an innovative blending of progressive business and financial methods
- Resourceful blending or construction techniques and professionals
- Utilized public and private involvement and cooperation
- Completed safely with minimal injuries
- Involved creative use of materials
Previous MCA Choice Award winners include Loeffler Construction & Consulting’s Mino-Bimaadiziwin Apartment, RJM Construction’s HERO Center, McGough Construction’s Bell Museum, RJM Construction’s Treasure Island Center, Ryan Companies’ Downtown East Mixed Use Development and Knutson Construction’s Target Field Station to name a few.
The panel is currently considering candidate projects for the MCA Choice Award for the 2023 Awards of Excellence. To recommend a project that qualifies for the MCA Choice Award, email info@mnconstruction.org by October 14, 2022 and include:
