Annual Redwood Deck Gompetition Deadllne

Redwood dealers nationwide have discovered that displaying California Redwood Association's free contest banners and colorful entry blanks is a proven way to create deck building excitement, Panela Allsebrook, who has been a judge for past contests, maintains.

Dealers find homeowners tend to start deck projects they have been putting off and to choose redwood over other materials in order to ent€r the contest, she explains.

Deadline for this year's oontest, the seventh annual competition, is Sept. 15. Home Mechanix magazine, CRA's co-sponsor, will feature the winning decks in a 1995 issue. First, second and third prizes in two categories - do-it-yourselfers and professionals - include cash awards from $2,000 to $750 plus merchandise.
