The Brawny Industrial® brand Great American Worker contest is an annual Georgia-Pacific Professional program saluting the efforts of the unsung heroes of American industry and recognizing their dedication to safety, productivity, and community involvement. Plant managers, floor supervisors, assembly line operators, truck drivers, mechanics, and workers in manufacturing, automotive, construction, logistics, food service, and other U.S. industries can qualify through the online nomination process. The Ford F-150 Grand Prize Winner will be announced in October 2013.

"The essays we have received since the Great American Worker 2013 contest began March 5 are uplifting, inspiring and make us proud to be a part of a program that recognizes individuals who serve as an example for others," said Alex Volpe, Georgia-Pacific Professional vice president – towel and wiper category. "We look forward to receiving more entries before we begin our judging phase on July 8, when 10 lucky finalists will be chosen."

The theme for this year's award is 'Get Work Done,' emphasizing how Great American Workers go over and above what's necessary to keep our country moving every day – getting their work finished in a safe and productive fashion, while also achieving a good work/life balance. "Enjoying life with family and friends and giving back to the community is important, too," said Volpe. "America's workers make a difference on many levels."
