The 2014 Coverings Installation and Design (CID) Awards, honoring achievements in outstanding design and installation of tile and stone, is now open for entries. Architects, designers, builders, contractors, distributors, retailers and installers are invited to submit entries for residential, commercial, international and sustainable projects. Winning projects will be honored during Coverings 2014, April 29-May 2, at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
New to the 2014 CID Awards is the addition of a Sustainability category for recognition of projects that focus on innovative, sustainable design. Additionally, a new online portal simplifies the process of entering projects for consideration.
“One of the highlights of Coverings is celebrating and honoring unique projects that exhibit the highest levels of creativity, craftsmanship and outstanding use of materials,” said Karin Fendrich, Coverings show director. “We anticipate even more outstanding projects than ever before, especially with the new program updates we’ve implemented.”
An independent panel of judges will evaluate submissions based on execution and installation, original usage and overall design and purpose, with special recognition given to those projects exemplifying stunning tile and stone. The Grand Prize winners of the residential and commercial categories will each receive $2,000 and a one-night hotel stay in Las Vegas. Additional cash prizes will be awarded in each category. Winners must be present at the CID Awards reception and ceremony in Las Vegas. If winners are unable to attend, the project will be disqualified with a new winner awarded (this does not apply to international projects).
