Frequently asked questions

The Best of the Best is our annual video contest designed to celebrate the incredible work of roofers who bring projects to life using our natural slate. Every year you amaze us with spectacular creations. Jump in and show the world your talent and craftsmanship!

Any installer or roofing contractor that has completed a project using our natural slate is welcome to participate. Big or small, classic or modern, if you want to share your project, this contest is for you.

There’s only one: the project must be made with our natural slate.

As for the video… total creative freedom! Vertical or horizontal, cinematic shots, drone footage, a POV of an installation technique: you name it. Let your imagination run wild!

The length is flexible too, though somewhere between 45 seconds and 2 minutes usually works best to showcase all the details.

Super easy: just upload your video using this form.

You can submit your video until November 30. However, don’t leave it for the last minute to avoid any hiccups.

All videos will be grouped by country. From December 2 to December 4, public voting will be open on our blog so anyone can choose their favorite project in each group. Don’t worry! We’ll share the links when the time comes so you can spread the word and gather support.

The most voted video in each group will automatically move on to the final round. From there, an international jury of highly respected professionals in the natural slate industry will choose the overall winner. The grand winner will be announced on December 16.

This year’s edition is packed with prizes and exciting new additions:

  • Just for participating: everyone who submits a video will receive a goodie bag with tools and workwear. Plus, your project and company will gain international visibility through our channels no matter the result.
  • Prizes for each group winner: new this year, each group winner will receive an exclusive commemorative hammer created specially for the Best of the Best.
  • Prize for the final winner: the overall champion will enjoy an all-expenses-paid trip to Spain, including a visit to our quarries and a once-in-a-lifetime experience: attending a Real Madrid match at Santiago Bernabéu Stadium.

Here are the dates you’ll want to mark on your calendar:

  • Video submissions: until November 30
  • Public voting: December 2–4 on our blog
  • Country winners announcement: after public voting closes
  • International jury voting: after the public phase
