Nomination Period
Nominations are accepted annually from August 1 through October 1. 
 
The Asphalt Pavement Alliance developed the prestigious Perpetual Pavement Awards to recognize long-life asphalt pavements across the United States and honor projects that demonstrate outstanding design, construction, and long-term performance. State agencies and road owners continue to recognize the value of Perpetual Pavements.
 
Many pavement owners recognize the benefits of converting existing roadways into Perpetual Pavements. The Asphalt Pavement Alliance (APA) accepts nominations for asphalt pavements that have been converted to meet the principles of Perpetual Pavement design. Nominations are reviewed and approved by the National Center for Asphalt Technology (NCAT). Qualifying projects receive the Perpetual Pavement Award: By Conversion.

To be eligible for a By Conversion award, a project must meet the following:
  • The pavement project must be complete.
  • The pavement must include hot-mix asphalt (HMA) or warm-mix asphalt (WMA) binder and surface layers.
  • Meet the minimum project length requirements:
    • Roadways: At least 2 miles
    • Municipal Roadways: At least 4 continuous blocks or 1,200 feet
To submit a nomination, you will be prompted to create a NAPA account or log in with your existing account.
