of your innovative ideas, your

ability to meet your clients’

needs and your efforts to

overcome project challenges.

The International Achievement

Each entry is retained in IFAI’s photo archive and entries (winners andnonwinners) and photos often are selected by the editors of IFAI’s six magazines for feature stories and other important industry coverage.

Year after year, International Achievement Award winners inspire awe and raise the standard for excellence in the specialty fabrics industry. A diverse panel of industry experts, editors, architects, educators and design professionals select the winning projects. Judging is based on complexity, workmanship, function, design and uniqueness. Judges are not given any company information about the entries they are viewing.

Winning projects in each category are awarded with an Award of Excellence or an Outstanding Achievement Award. Winning projects receive extensive industry and media exposure, including:

• Press releases written and distributed to trade and consumer media outlets.

• Features in IFAI publications: Industrial Fabric Products Review, Fabric Architecture, InTents, Marine Fabricator, GFR, and Upholstery Journal.

• Showcase at the IFAI Expo 2005 awards breakfast.

• Ability to use the International Achievement Award logo in business literature and promotional pieces.

Special notes:

• Entries become property of IFAI and will be displayed at IFAI Expo 2005, Oct. 27–29, 2005 in San Antonio.

• Any category that has less than four entries will receive awards at a rate equal to one less than the number of entries. No awards will be given if there is only one entry in a category.

• International Achievement Award winners will be asked to submit media outlet contact information for press release distribution.

• Projects can be entered in the competition only one time.

• Companies may enter more than one project in the competition. However, each project can be entered in only one category.
