The ISSA Show Innovation Awards, an annual program honouring trailblazing companies in the commercial, institutional, and residential cleaning community, is open for voting through 12 November 2021.
The program includes four Industry Choice Awards, five Innovation of the Year Award Honorees, and one overall Innovation of the Year Award winner. Winners will be announced during ISSA Show North America, 15-18 November 2021 at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
ISSA Board President, Steve Lewis, said: “Innovation is what drives the industry forward, and ultimately what helps protect public health and safety by creating cleaner environments. The Innovation Award program honours companies that are addressing today’s challenges through the development of new products and services.”
Distributors, wholesalers, manufacturer representatives, building service contractors, residential cleaners, and in-house service providers can vote for the product they feel has had the most significant impact in the professional cleaning industry. In addition to collecting online votes, a judging panel of industry experts also considers criteria such as sustainability, originality, practicality, and more.
The four winners of the Distributor Choice Award, Residential Cleaning Choice Award, Manufacturer Representative Choice Award, and the Facility Service Provider Choice Award, will be announced on Tuesday 16 November during the Opening Spotlight Speaker. Meanwhile, the five Honoree Awards and the Innovation of the Year Award will be named during the Innovation Award Ceremony on Thursday 18 November at 1PM in the Innovation Showcase, Booth #266.
Iris Weinstein, ISSA Director of Strategic Partnership & Trade Show Sales, added: “Each year, we witness the introduction of new technologies and solutions that make the process of cleaning more successful, efficient, sustainable, and cost effective. We thank this year’s participating manufacturers for their continued dedication to the industry and look forward to seeing which Innovation Products resonate the most.”
