2020 Coverings Awards Now Open

ARLINGTON, Va. – The 2020 Coverings Installation & Design (CID) Awards competition is now accepting entries through Dec. 20.

300 cid AWARDSThe awards are open to architects, designers, builders, contractors, distributors, retailers, installers, and other professionals who demonstrate design and/or installation excellence in residential and commercial projects, giving special recognition to stunning use of stone and tile.

Projects must have been completed within the past two years (Jan 2018 – Dec 2019) and can be located anywhere in the world.

Projects will be judged separately on installation and design, with entry forms specific to each field of work. Projects will be judged on their levels of creativity, craftsmanship, outstanding use of materials, and achievement in the use of tile or stone within the residential and commercial project categories.

Of particular interest are projects that demonstrate an original or unusual use of materials, incorporate an innovative technology, reflect installation excellence, or successfully combine aesthetics with function in a unique and interesting way. Additional projects may be recognized for categories including International, Artistic Use of Tile/Stone, Institutional, Community Project, etc., based on submissions received.

Multiple entries are accepted and encouraged. Separate forms are required for each entry.

An independent panel of judges for all award categories will evaluate entries using a blind format based on Excellence in Execution, Inspiring + Original Use and Overall Purpose. Decisions are at the discretion of the jury.
