CHICAGO — Out of hundreds of thousands of drycleaning stores, and across six long decades, only 56 stores have ever been named grand prize winner and had their photo placed on our front cover.
Want to be the 57th?
The American Drycleaner 2018 Plant Design Awards (PDA) is now accepting entries to its 57th annual contest.
Go HERE and start putting your entry together today. The deadline to enter is Thursday, Oct. 5.
How do you qualify?
If you have invested in renovations, equipment upgrades, or an entirely new drycleaning plant, then you qualify for the PDA.
Every year, our magazine honors the best new plants and renovation projects, recognizing them for appearance, efficiency, convenience and comfort.
Fill out the entry form completely, upload a layout, and several high-resolution color photos showing off your plant.
Want ideas for photos?
Give us a big photo of the whole interior, a photo of the exterior, a couple photos of the machines and equipment, and a photo of the people involved in the project, standing at their drycleaning operation.
Tip: make sure these are the best quality photos you can possibly take. Nice and clear. Include captions.
Also: provide a personal story of how the project came into being and how it was accomplished. Add quotes from the main players in your story. (And tell us a good story. The better the story, the more engaged the judges are!)
A picture is worth a thousand words. Being on our front cover is worth many of those. You might become our 57th drycleaning business to be immortalized forever! Join the immortals! Get in today!
