The Face® Companies’ 2025 Golden Trowel® Awards

January 21, 2026

Be there when the industry recognizes the best concrete floors in the world.

The Face® Companies’ 2025 Golden Trowel® Awards will be presented on January 21, 2026, at the World of Concrete in Las Vegas. The Face Companies have given the Golden Trowel for 35 years to contractors who produce the world’s flattest and most level floors.  The Golden Trowel® is a 24-karat gold-plated Marshalltown finishing trowel, mounted on a polished granite block over a walnut base.

Golden Trowel Gold Plates are awarded to the winner in each category. The award categories include how the floor was initially struck off, the floor casting’s width, whether shake-on hardener or steel fibers were used, and other factors that influence flatness and levelness. 

Golden Trowel Silver Plates recognize truly outstanding entries that achieved exceptional results but did not dominate the category.

The event will also feature a brief description of each winning project.

The award event is open to all World of Concrete attendees. Registration is not required.
