Coverings Opens Entries for Second CID Awards
ALEXANDRIA, Va. — Coverings is seeking entries for the second annual Coverings Installation & Design (CID) Awards.
The CID Awards honor achievements in outstanding design and installation of tile and stone in residential and commercial projects. Last year’s inaugural program featured 12 winners.
Architects, designers, builders, contractors, distributors, retailers, installers and other professionals are invited to enter projects located within, or outside of, North America. A new category in 2013 has been established for international firms submitting projects.
Projects are judged on design and installation excellence, giving special recognition to unusual, creative and innovative uses of stone and tile. Entries must have been completed between January 2010-December 2012.
A $1,000 grand prize will go to the best overall entry. $500 awards for design and installation of residential and commercial works by North American firms will be awarded in tile and stone categories; $500 awards for tile and stone projects will also be awarded to international entrants.
The deadline for entries is Feb. 8, 2013; winners will be announced at a reception/ceremony on April 29 during Coverings 2013 at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta. North American-based entrants must be present to be awarded a prize.
The stone and tile event is also offering its PROJECT: Green awards to recognize sustainable new and remodeled commercial, institutional and residential projects featuring tile and stone. The program, now in its fourth year, is open to architects, designers, builders, contractors, distributors, retailers, manufacturers and installers.
Deadline for PROJECT: Green entries is Jan. 18. Selected projects will be showcased at Coverings.
“With these two programs, Coverings is proud to recognize excellence in the entire tile and stone community by saluting professionals for their design creativity, craftsmanship and environmental stewardship,” said Karin Fendrich, Coverings show director. “Recognition of the projects selected for PROJECT: Green and winners for CID Awards has become a much-anticipated highlight of the show.”
There is no fee to enter either program.
