IFAI International Achievement Awards ––– your source for recognition and visibility

View the 2009 IFAI International Achievement Award-winning projects here.

For over 60 years, global companies have been entering the annual International Achievement Awards. This prestigious competition started with only four different project classifications and now in 2010 it has developed into 29 project categories for the specialty fabric market. Companies enter their custom projects then a team of knowledgeable peers judge the projects and declare the winners in each category.

Showcase your company's innovation, technical skill, and design excellence. Enter the International Achievement Awards. Specialty fabric companies around the world compete with their best work, and each year the competition witnesses spectacular results. We invite specialty fabric professionals to submit your projects. It's fast and easier than ever before.

Enter at https://www.ifaipublications.com/iaasubmit.

Winning projects receive extensive media exposure including: press releases written and distributed to trade and consumer media outlets, features in IFAI's seven publications and supplements, an award plaque, and permission to use the IAA winning logo in business and promotional pieces.

"Award of Excellence" and "Outstanding Achievement Award" category winners are announced every year at IFAI Expo.

Every winning project helps to keep our name in the forefront of someone's mind when they're thinking of a new project and during the bidding/proposal stage. It's helpful to remind someone that the last job we did for them won international acclaim and was a job widely appreciated. Almost everyone enjoys seeing their work recognized.”
