We’re sincerely grateful for every submission and honored that you trust AGT™ glow aggregates for your projects. Your work inspires us, and we can’t wait to see what you create for this year’s contest.
And to those who didn’t win a category last year—please keep creating and submit again in 2026. You are all artists in our eyes, and we truly appreciate your support.

Ambient Glow Technology - AGT™
Okaloosa County Trail 🏆
Okaloosa Island, Florida 📍
Spanning four miles and 12ft wide, on Okaloosa Island, this "Bridge-to-Bridge" multi-use path, expertly completed by CWR Contracting, and commissioned by Okaloosa Country, takes first place for the Best Commercial Project winner – as well as the crown for the longest glow-in-the-dark trail in the world! By integrating high-performance photo-luminescent AGT™ ULTRA-X Aqua Blue Glow Stones, they have created a breathtaking, sustainable safety solution for pedestrians and cyclists. This landmark project beautifully showcases how photoluminescent technology can transform infrastructure into an enchanting, world-record-breaking nighttime experience.
Starry Patio And Steps 🏆
Grand Blanc, Michigan 📍
The Best Residential Project winner takes us to Grand Blanc, Michigan, for a celestial backyard transformation completed by Jeremy Troutman of JT Concrete Services. Bordering a dark cornfield at a subdivision's edge, this patio has no electrical lighting, relying instead on a dense field of AGT™ ULTRA-X 1/2" Sky Blue Glow Stones to light the way. The effect is a breathtaking "starry" floor that mirrors the night sky above. In this peaceful, rural setting, the lack competing light sources allow the glow stones to perform at optimum intensity, making you feel as though you are truly sitting amongst the stars.
Cosmic Grotto Pool 🏆
Menifee, California 📍
The Best Pool Interior Project winner showcases a masterfully constructed grotto that transforms into a celestial oasis after sunset. By meticulously integrating AGT™ 1/4" and 1/8" Glowing Mini Pebbles in Aqua Blue, Sky Blue, and Emerald Yellow (which are specifically designed for pool interiors due to their soft and rounded edges) directly into the pool plaster interior, the design achieves a deep, star-like shimmer beneath the surface. AGT™ Aqua Blue Fine Glow Sand was used to create flowing, glow-in-the-dark veins that appear to fracture naturally throughout the grotto boulders, adding organic detail. This sophisticated application truly defines the epitome of custom spa contours and pool transitions, turning the entire environment into an immersive, luxurious nighttime destination. Thank you to George from California Custom Pools for showcasing his team's creativity and expertise in the integration of AGT™ glow aggregates in pool deck and pool plaster surfaces.
Intergalactic Pool 🏆
Simi Valley, California 📍
The Best Pool Deck winner is a five-year dream realized, inspired by the bioluminescent wonders of Disney’s Avatar world. This stunning project features Aqua Blue and Sky Blue Fine Glow Sand embedded into stamped concrete, creating ethereal veins across the deck. Framing the water, a decorative black rock inlay serves as a striking perimeter, featuring ULTRA-X 1/2" Aqua Blue Glow Stones scattered throughout. Combined with the 1/8" Aqua Blue Glowing Mini Pebbles in the pool plaster interior, the design successfully brings a theme-park fantasy into a private, otherworldly nighttime retreat.
Milky Way Countertop 🏆
Calgary, Alberta 📍
The Best Art Project winner is a breathtaking interior masterpiece: a glowing low-profile 1.5" concrete countertop. This project captures the awe-inspiring beauty of the Milky Way Galaxy by integrating AGT™ 1/8" ULTRA-X Aqua Blue, Sky Blue, and Emerald Yellow Glow Stones to mimic distant stars. Complementing the stones, Aqua Blue Fine Glow Sand was used to replicate the swirling depths of the cosmos. The result is a high-performance concrete surface that transforms an everyday kitchen feature into a stunning, glowing celestial map that brings the universe indoors.
