Plans for the 2010 Painters' Competition are well underway. The 2010 Painters’ Competition will be held on Saturday, April 10. The location is the Marco’ facility, 701 East Blvd. Deer Park, Texas 77536, Southeast Corner of East Blvd and Hwy 225.

It is our goal to host 10 teams. However, we will accept more applications to fill any "no shows". Teams are registered in date order. Teams may be from the contractor ranks, any other company wishing to host a team, or individuals. There is no entry fee.

There will be cash prizes to the first, second and third place winners. This year we may have other incentives to the participants that will be announced at a later date. The day of the competition will be a family setting with the Children's Area, food, refreshments, door prizes, and maybe some entertainment. The NACE Virtual Spray Booth will be open for the visitors use and bragging rights! The activities are indoors, so weather will not be a deterrent. The event draws between 100 and 150 visitors but we can handle more.

An area will be provided for “tailgate” or table top displays. There is no charge to display.

The drawing for the paint to be used will be held at the March Coating Society Meeting. Paint supplier/manufacturers may present their business cards for the drawing to any Painter Competition Committee member at any time and we will collect at the February and March meetings. Any fast drying paint will be considered.

We are in need of committee members, volunteers to help the day of the event, teams, judges, donors. Contact the below committee members for more information.
