Petersen Aluminum Corp., Elk Grove Village, Ill., has launched a Project of the Month competition to recognize superior design applications using PAC-CLAD material. Architects and contractors may submit projects for consideration by completing a simple upload form found on the Petersen website at www.pac-clad.com. Monthly winners will each receive a $100 Best Buy gift card and will have their project highlighted on the “Project of the Month” page for a month. Every January, one project will be chosen from the previous 12 monthly winners to be awarded the “Project of the Year”. The winner of the “Project of the Year” will be featured in one of Petersen Aluminum’s ads, scheduled to run throughout the year in various national trade publications.
