Coverings 2023 Honors Open for Entries
ARLINGTON, Va. – It’s that time again to open the awards and honors competitions for Coverings 2023 … but the December deadline for entries will come sooner than you think.
Coverings is seeking nominations for its Coverings Installation & Design Awards (CID) and its Rock Stars recognition of young leaders in the industry.
The CID Awards celebrate outstanding achievements in the design and installation of ceramic tile and stone in residential, institutional, and commercial projects. Projects will be judged on their levels of creativity, craftsmanship, and outstanding use of materials in the use of ceramic tile or stone within the project categories.
Of particular interest are projects that demonstrate an original or unusual use of materials, incorporate innovative technology, reflect installation excellence, or successfully combine aesthetics with function in unique and interesting ways.
The competition is open to architects, designers, builders, contractors, distributors, retailers, installers, and other professionals who demonstrate design and/or installation excellence in residential and commercial projects that showcase ceramic tile and/or natural stone.
Projects must have been completed within the past two years (January 2021 – December 2022), and can be located within or outside North America.
There is no cost to enter. All entries must be submitted electronically at https://www.coverings.com/cid-awards/ by Dec. 16.
Multiple entries are accepted and encouraged. Separate forms are required for each entry.
Winners will receive one night’s stay (or equivalent gift card) at Coverings 2023 in Orlando on April 18-22, have projects displayed at the event, and be recognized at the CID Awards Reception. The projects will also be featured in various industry publications, such as this.
The Coverings Rock Stars – an emerging leaders program – honors the best and brightest young talent in the tile and stone industry. Since its conception, the program has recognized dozens of young leaders who have connected at Coverings through mentorship and networking opportunities.
