Prepare your stabilized sample entries for the Residuals and Biosolids Beauty Contest held at Tri-Con!!
Register all Residuals and Biosolids entries for the Beauty Contest at the CWEA table on the 2nd floor before 9am on Wednesday, September 2nd. Entries will be displayed and judged in the Exhibitor Hall after they’ve been registered. There will be awards handed out during the Awards Program on Thursday, September 3rd from 5:30pm - 6:30pm in the Bayfront Ballroom on the 2nd floor. Awards will be given for:
- Class A - Fresh/Unblended
- Class A - Enhanced
- Class B
- Residuals
- Best in Presentation Overall
Note: Multiple entries may be required if enhancements vary from sample to sample for the Class A Biosolids (enhanced). For example, if you have a sample with no blend but aged for 30 days and a sample blended with sand, each sample must be entered into the contest separately even if it is from the same utility.
