2020 PRODUCT INNOVATIONS
This competitive awards program is for manufacturers of interiors products related to commercial buildings.
Guidelines
Not submitting the required information could disqualify you.
Who: Interiors vendors who have products relevant to commercial facilities.
Categories: Lighting, Seating, Furniture Systems, Technology Support, Flooring, Acoustics, Materials, Walls and Partitions
Items must support end users in commercial and institutional settings, including education, corporate, healthcare, hospitality, government and retail.

Judging
Finalists are selected based on their relevance to facility owners/managers and end users.
Due to the current COVID-19 situation, we need to adjust the judging scope. Each entry is judged by our editorial staff based on your submission materials (questionnaire answers, press release and photography). We will not be scheduling a virtual meeting with each finalist. However, any finalist who wants to send a product video is welcome to do so and it will be added to the online article.
Finalist Notification: TBD
Winners
We will name winners at the Editors’ Choice, Grand Prize and Merit Award levels. (The three Editors’ Choice winners are drawn from the pool of Grand Prize winners.) Here is what each receives:

An individual online product listing with both BUILDINGS and interiors+sources. Both offer a valuable digital catalog of solutions.
Marketing materials, including an awards plaque, complimentary issues, press releases, graphics and backlinks.
Grand Prize and Editors’ Choice winners will receive an individual social post. Merit Award winners will receive a social post included with other category winners.
Editor’s Choice winners will also receive:
A five-minute express listen podcast
Inclusion in a separate article highlighting the three Editor’s Choice products
Inclusion in the BUILDINGS Bulletin and i+s insider e-newsletters separate from the Product Innovations feature
One additional individual mention on social media

This is a competitive awards program—submission does not guarantee selection. Your company may submit multiple products, but only one may be selected per category.
If your product is not selected, it does not move forward in the competition and will not be included in the Product Innovations feature. Entries that do not win will be considered for placement in a future issue in the Products section of BUILDINGS and/or the Sources section of interiors+sources.
Editors reserve the right to revise all product descriptions.
