Maximize Your Moment: Why Submitting Multiple Entries Pays Off

Written By Melissa Betts

Want to increase your chances of winning an HNA Award? Submit more than one entry.

Entrants who stand out often submit different projects across multiple categories or even submit multiple projects in the same category (as long as each one meets the criteria).

If you have a portfolio of work you’re proud of, now’s the time to share it.

Here’s how past award winners have played it smart:

  • They use the early bird deadline (July 18, 2025) to their advantage, locking in the lower rate for the projects they’ve already completed.

  • Then, they use the extra time before the final deadline (August 13, 2025) to polish additional projects and submit more entries.

The submission process is designed to make that easy. After completing your first entry, click “Make Another Submission” to add another.

Consider entering projects across our various hardscape categories, including:

  • Adhered Thin Veneers

  • Clay Brick Pavement

  • Combination of Hardscape Products

  • Natural Stone Pavement

  • Outdoor Living Features

  • Porcelain Paver Pavement

  • Retaining Walls

  • Segmental Concrete Pavement

  • Vintage Installation

One important rule: Each project can only be submitted to one category. But if you’ve got several eligible projects? We want to see them all.

The early bird deadline is coming up on July 18, so don’t wait to submit!
