The 15th Annual SPFA Industry Excellence Awards Nominations are Now Open!

The Sprayfoam Show 2020 Convention & Expo will be held in Pasadena, CA on February 11 - 14, 2020.

On February 13, 2020, SPFA will host the Industry Excellence Awards Luncheon as part of The Sprayfoam Show 2020 Convention & Expo. There will be awards in several categories for projects that demonstrate excellence in our industry. A panel of industry experts will adjudicate the selection process through a blind judging process. Judges will not know to whom each of the entries belongs, therefore the judging will be solely based on the merit of the project according to awards guidelines.

What do previous winners have to say about the Awards Program?

"My company utilizes our SPFA awards in every way we can think of because we are PROUD of them! The award logo is part of our email signatures, our 6 SPFA awards are displayed in our lobby, our trade show booths always include a few award pop-up banners, and these awards are often made into magazine stories that make an awesome customer hand-out. Participating is a no brainer! Just do it!"
