On Wednesday, April 1^st, the NYCDCC Labor Technical College (LTC) hosted its 46^th Annual 4^th Year Graduating Apprentice Contest. The much anticipated event not only served as a showcase for competition among skilled apprentices, but it also was a platform for industry trends, state-of-the-art tools, and demonstrations as well. Considering how popular the event has become over the years, it was far from shocking that the basement of 395 Hudson Street was packed with eager observers throughout the day.

Although there was plenty to be seen, heard, and learned, the main draw of the event was most definitely the 4^th Year Graduating Apprentice Contest. Dozens of apprentices took part in a competitive, but cooperative contest that challenged them to complete projects in their various trades. Carpenters, Floor Coverers, Interior Finishers, Millwrights, Timberman, Dockbuilders, and Cabinetmakers all had their chance to display the various skills they learned in their four years at the LTC. The results were wonderful, as the contest displayed the fabulously honed craftsmanship of the graduating class.

This contest left no doubt that all of the apprentices who participated in the event are winners and will be respected professionals in their trades. With that being said, here are the results of the 46^th Annual Graduating Apprentice Contest:
