ARLINGTON, Va. – Coverings (coverings.com), the largest international tile and stone exhibition and conference in North America, is accepting nominations of young up-and-coming industry professionals for its annual Rock Star Awards through Dec. 20.
Nominees must be 35 years of age or younger and employed as one of the following professions: architect, designer, distributor, retailer, contractor/installer, fabricator, specifier, manufacturer, and/or trade-association personnel.
A committee of industry leaders evaluates the contenders’ experience levels; professional certifications or affiliations; previous awards or accolades; prior speaking engagements at industry events; quantity of published works; impact in the tile and stone industry; and what sets them apart as emerging leaders in the industry.
Winners will be recognized onsite at the annual Coverings Rock Stars Luncheon at Coverings 2020 in New Orleans on April 20-23 and receive their choice of a one-night stay in New Orleans or an equivalent gift card. Winners are also named in a Coverings press release distributed to dozens of publications, along with a year-long professional feature on the Coverings website.
A full list of 2019 winners can be seen on Coverings’ Rock Stars winners feature page.
Ceremonies during Coverings 2020 will also honor winners of the Coverings Installation and Design Awards.
