Welcome to the Galvanizers Association Galvanizing Awards (GAGAs)
Turn Completed Projects into Industry Recognition
Significant effort goes into specifying and delivering durable projects...
Behind every durable project lies hours of careful problem-solving, valuable insight that deserves to be recognized and shared. The GAGAs transform finished projects into lasting examples of best practice, which can inspire and inform long after the work is done.
Whether you’re an Architect, Engineer, Fabricator or Artist and your project has incorporated galvanizing, we want to hear from you.
Is your project eligible?
Each category reflects a different way galvanizing contributes to performance, design and long-term value. Any building or architectural project where galvanizing supports the design intent, integration, and visual outcome.
- Architecture:
Any building or architectural project where galvanizing supports the design intent, integration, and visual outcome. - Duplex:
Any application where galvanizing is used alongside an additional coating to deliver enhanced corrosion protection and performance. - Art:
Any artwork, installation, or public-facing piece where galvanizing enables creative expression, durability, and long-term engagement. - Engineering:
Any structural application where galvanizing contributes to strength, performance, and long service life. - Detail:
Any component, connection, or fabricated detail where quality of execution, finish, and best practice are clearly demonstrated. - Sustainability:
Any project of any scale where galvanizing supports durability, reuse, adaptability, and whole-life environmental performance. *
Projects are assessed on merit, not scale
From individual details to complete buildings and infrastructure, projects of all sizes are welcome.
