Columbia, United States - August 15, 2018 /PressCable/ —
The Chain Link Fence Manufacturers Institute (CLFMI) has announced that it is now accepting applications for its 2018 Les Grube Memorial Design Award contest. The Award includes a uniquely-designed plaque and cash awards of $2,500 to the designing architect and $1,000 to the installing contractor, and is given for the project which makes the best and most unique use of chain link fence materials.
The 2017 Award was presented to David Dowell, AIA, for his design of the Main Street Redux Project in Kansas City, MO. The project was installed by Collins and Hermann, Inc., of Kansas City, KS. Layers of chain link were used not only to enhance safety but to also create a cross-light, aesthetically-pleasing effect. Vertical LED lights, mounted on the posts, washed the space between the layers of chain link, illuminating the chamber in an extremely effective and dramatic manner.
Previous winners of the award include Pritzker award-winner Frank Gehry, Venice, CA; Arai/Jackson Architects, Seattle, WA; and Don M. Hisaka and Associates, Cambridge, MA.
Architects and contractors are encouraged to submit an applications as soon as possible to be considered for the 2018 Award. An online application can be access on www.chainlinkinfo.org/clfmi-award-programs/ and a printable application is also available online.

1. Employ an innovative use of chain link fence materials (fabric, framework, and/or gates) on a commercial or industrial project.
2. Be conceived by a professional architectural or engineering firm.
