Irwin brings back 'Nominate a Tradesman'
Irwin Tools is bringing back its Nominate a Tradesman Contest for this year's installment of National Tradesmen Day.
Irwin launched the contest for the first time last year after founding National Tradesmen Day in 2011 to give thanks to professional tradespeople.
"We first launched this contest in 2015 and love that it gives communities an opportunity to join us in celebrating the trade professionals who make a positive difference in each of our lives," said Nick Mastrone, VP marketing. "IRWIN Tools has always looked for different ways to honor the men and women who play a critical role in building and maintaining our country's infrastructure, beginning with National Tradesmen Day five years ago and now with our nationwide Nominate a Tradesman contest. We look forward to reading the submissions and continuing to celebrate all that trade professionals do to contribute so meaningfully to our lives."
The company is accepting nominations for an outstanding tradesperson, who will have the chance to win a new Ford F-150 truck and one of six monthly prizes worth up to $200 in Irwin Tools.
The tool prizes include VISE-GRIP GrooveLock Pliers, a ProTouch Retractable Utility Knife, SPEEDBOR Max Speed Bits, VISE-GRIP Fast Release Locking Pliers, a Universal Handsaw, QUICK-GRIP Mini One-Handed Bar Clamps and MARATHON with WeldTec circular saw blades.
One grand prize winner will receive a 2016 Ford F-150 4x4 SuperCrew Cab Pickup truck, new IRWIN tools and an expense-paid trip for two to attend the IRWIN Nominate a Tradesman crowning ceremony at the IRWIN Tools North American Headquarters in Huntersville, North Carolina, on September 15, 2016.
