International Metal Supplier Celebrates Victors in Eighth Metal Customization Contest

November 10, 2020 // Franchising.com // MISSISSAUGA, Ontario - Metal Supermarkets, the world’s largest supplier of small-quantity metals, announced today the winners of the eighth annual Metal My Way contest.

Pitting skilled welders, fabricators, metal-workers and artists against one another to compete for seven different top honors, the Metal My Way contest provides an opportunity for metal professionals and hobbyists alike to showcase their creativity through inventive projects. Earlier this year, entrants were asked to submit a photo or video of their project for a chance to win.

This is a creative way to bring about that recognition.”

The winning submissions were chosen based on criteria such as complexity, intricacy, creativity, uniqueness, craftsmanship, quality of metal used and skill required. In addition to grand prizes for the Best Overall Project and Best Processing, top honors were given to submissions in each of five categories.
