Submissions for the 2017 CID Awards are open to architects, designers, builders, contractors, distributors, retailers, installers and other professionals who demonstrate design and/or installation excellence in residential and commercial projects, giving special recognition to stunning stone and tile.

Criteria and Judging

Projects will be judged and awarded based on technical installation and design. Projects will be judged on their levels of creativity, craftsmanship, and outstanding use of materials and achievement in the use of tile or stone within the residential and commercial project categories. Of particular interest are projects that demonstrate an original or unusual use of materials, incorporate an innovative technology, reflect installation excellence or successfully combine aesthetics with function in a unique and interesting way. Two grand-prize winners will be chosen from all submissions.

The scoring is based on a scale of 1 to 10; with 10 being high and 1 being low. Judges will evaluate entries using a blind format based on:

  • excellence in execution and installation
  • inspiring and original use of tile or stone
  • overall design and purpose

An independent panel of judges for all award categories will evaluate entries using a blind format based on excellence in execution and installation, inspiring and original use of materials, and overall design and purpose. Decisions are at the discretion of the jury.
