The institute is seeking nominees for the Pinnacle Awards, the annual Industry Recognition Awards, and two scholarships. All awards are open to Natural Stone Institute members.

A new Kitchen and Bath category will join the existing Pinnacles lineup Commercial Interior, Commercial Exterior, Renovation/Restoration, Residential Interior/Exterior (Single and Multi-Family), Architectural Carving/Lettering/Sculpture, and Public Landscapes/Parks/Memorials.

A Grande Pinnacle Award, sponsored by Marmomac, will be presented to the best overall project.

The Industry Recognition Awards celebrate individuals in the stone industry for exemplary contributions to the industry and association over a period of time. Available awards include the Migliore Award for Lifetime Achievement, the Women in Stone Pioneer Award, and the Natural Stone Craftsman of the Year Award.

Two scholarships, the Natural Stone Scholarship and the Women in Stone Empowerment Scholarship, provide hands-on educational opportunities for aspiring professionals looking to enhance their careers in the stone industry.

Pinnacle and individual award recipients will be celebrated at the annual Natural Stone Institute Awards Ceremony at TISE, beginning next Jan. 31 in Las Vegas.
