Brick Industry Calendar
This industry-wide calendar of events and meetings should be visited by brick industry professionals regularly. Conferences, meetings, exhibitions and other events sponsored by many organizations are listed.

Awards Programs
BIA sponsors two awards programs in alternating years.

• Brick in Architecture is a national competition to select and showcase the best examples of the use of brick in architecture. The competition is done in conjunction with the editors of Architectural Record who convene a panel of architects for the judging. The winners are featured in an issue of Brick in Architecture and will be included in the Brick Gallery on BIA's website.
• A national paving awards program honoring creative uses of clay pavers was first held in 2000. The winners will be featured in the Brick Gallery as well.
