Thank you for being part of the AGT™ community and for sharing your creativity with us. The quality of last year’s entries was nothing short of incredible, so much so that choosing winners became a real challenge.
There were simply too many standout projects to recognize only a few. That’s why we introduced Honorable Mentions in several categories, to ensure more of these exceptional builds received the recognition they truly deserve. These projects demonstrated outstanding design, craftsmanship, and innovative use of AGT™ glow stones, and we felt it was important to highlight them.
We’re genuinely grateful for every submission and proud to see how AGT™ glow aggregates are being used in everything from glowing walkways and driveways to custom patios and unique outdoor spaces. Your creativity continues to inspire us and others in the community.
To those who didn’t take home a category win, please keep creating and submit again in 2026. Every project shared with us brings something unique, and we truly value the passion behind your work.

Honorable Mentions Spotlight
While our category winners earned top recognition, this year’s Honorable Mentions represent projects that stood out for their creativity, execution, and unique approach to glow in the dark design. These entries highlight just how far glow in the dark concrete, glowing pathways, and outdoor installations can be pushed, and they deserve to be seen.
Commercial Project Honorable Mention: Starling Glow Project 🎖️
Calgary, Alberta.📍
Anchoring the entrance to the Starling community in Calgary, this thoughtfully designed installation transforms a standard pedestrian pathway into a striking nighttime feature. Inspired by the movement of a starling flock, this project uses strategically scattered glow in the dark gravel to create a flowing, constellation-like effect that guides visitors after dark. By integrating high-performance AGT™ ULTRA-X Aqua Blue and Sky Blue Glow Stones, the design delivers a visually captivating and sustainable, electricity-free lighting solution for pedestrians. This project beautifully demonstrates how glow in the dark walkways and glowing pathways can elevate commercial spaces into immersive, safe, and memorable nighttime environments.
Residential Project Honorable Mention: Glow-In-The-Dark Patio Project 🎖️
Hudson, Texas.📍
This glowing patio installation showcases how exposed glow stone concrete can completely transform an outdoor living space after dark. Using AGT™ ULTRA Grade Sky Blue and Plasma Purple Glow Stones, the concrete surface was densely seeded to create a rich, star-filled glow effect that mirrors the night sky while creating a clean, modern aesthetic during the day. Designed as a custom glowing sitting area, the project demonstrates how glow in the dark concrete patios and glowing outdoor spaces can elevate residential landscapes with long-lasting ambient lighting and visual impact. Even years after installation, the glow stones continue to perform at a high level, highlighting the durability and premium glow performance of AGT™ ULTRA Grade materials while proving how glow in the dark patios and walkways can become striking nighttime focal points without relying on electricity or traditional landscape lighting.
Residential Project Honorable Mention: Glowing Baseboards 🎖️
Torrance, California.📍
This innovative interior project proves that glow in the dark design isn’t limited to outdoor spaces. Using AGT™ Aqua Blue and Sky Blue Fine Glow Sand along with Ultra Grade Aqua Blue and Sky Blue Glow Stones, custom glowing baseboards and illuminated tile grout lines were created to provide subtle nighttime guidance throughout the home. Embedded into epoxy-filled grooves and grout channels, the glow materials produce a sleek bioluminescent effect that enhances hallways and bathrooms with soft, low-level ambient lighting. Blending functionality with modern design, this project is a standout example of how glow in the dark sand and glow stones can be used indoors to create artistic, electricity-free wayfinding features that remain visually striking long after sunset.
Pool Interior Honorable Mention: Swimming With Stars 🎖️
Senoia, Georgia.📍
This breathtaking pool interior transforms an ordinary nighttime swim into a fully immersive experience inspired by a glowing night sky. Featuring AGT™ Glowing Mini Pebbles in Emerald Yellow, the pool and spa surfaces shimmer beneath the water with a rich constellation-like effect that creates incredible depth and movement after dark. The soft-tumbled pebbles produce a natural, luxurious glow throughout the entire interior, enhancing both visibility and atmosphere without overpowering the surrounding landscape. This project beautifully demonstrates how glow in the dark pool finishes and glowing pool pebbles can turn residential pools and spas into stunning nighttime focal points that feel both elegant and otherworldly.
Art Project Honorable Mention: Bio Flow Pool Deck 🎖️
Kilauea, Hawaii.📍
Blending landscape design with immersive artistic expression, the “Bio Flow” pool deck transforms an ordinary hardscape into a glowing work of art inspired by the movement of bioluminescent water. Using AGT™ Aqua Blue and Sky Blue Ultra Grade Glow Stones alongside Blue and Green Ultra-Grade Galactic Series™ Glow Stones, organic vein-like patterns were embedded throughout the deck to create the appearance of illuminated currents flowing naturally around the pool area. The contrast between the dark concrete surface and vibrant glowing aggregates creates a dramatic visual effect that comes alive after sunset, turning the entire backyard into a living gallery of light and texture. This project is a stunning example of how glow in the dark concrete, glow sand, and glow stone installations can be used to create artistic outdoor environments that feel dynamic, atmospheric, and completely unique.
