ISFA Awards Entries Now Open
INGOMAR, Pa. — The International Surface Fabricators Association (ISFA) is accepting nominations for its annual awards program.
The ISFA Awards program honors excellence in application design, fabrication and installation of projects using surfacing materials across seven categories.
The ISFA Awards are open to all ISFA fabricator-members representing successful applications. Associate members may submit entries or nominate ISFA fabricators for consideration.
Project submissions must have been completed within the two previous calendar years prior to the entry deadline and comply with all association standards. Projects may be considered in multiple categories if they meet the criteria.
Five of the categories are project based:
- Commercial Excellence in a Project Under $100K
- Commercial Excellence in a Project Over $100K
- Residential Excellence in a Project Under $20K
- Residential Excellence in a Project Over $20K
- Sustainable Project of the Year
Projects submitted must be completed using surfacing materials that meet the ISFA minimum standard. In addition, the project must exemplify excellence in all methods of the fabrication process, including safety, training, and the use of technology.
Two other awards are given to individuals or companies that excel in the industry:
- The Fabricator of the Year Award recognizes an individual or company that best exemplifies excellence in business using the ISFA ideals of quality, innovation, character and service to the association and the surfacing industry. Self-nominations are accepted.
- The USFA Hall of Fame Award recognizes an individual who has, during his or her career, made significant contributions to the surfacing industry and demonstrated leadership and a commitment to the association’s ideals. Self-nominations are accepted.
The deadline for submissions is July 31. There is no cost to enter.
An independent panel of industry professionals will select the winners for the five project-based awards. The Fabricator of the Year and the ISFA Hall of Fame submissions will be narrowed to two finalists in a vote by the association’s board of directors. The general membership will then choose the winners by a vote in August.
“The ISFA Awards program is designed to create awareness around the wide array of innovative surfacing materials on the market today,” says Marissa Bankert, executive director of ISFA. “Above all, it’s a platform for our fabricator members to gain recognition and elevate their businesses by showcasing the outstanding work they do every day.”
Winners will be announced at the 2024 ISFA Annual Conference, which will take place Nov. 6-8 in Miami. For complete details about the ISFA Awards and to submit an entry, go to www.ISFAnow.org/ISFA-awards.
