CID Award Winners Announced at Coverings

Orlando, FL, April 15, 2015—Thirteen tile and stone projects were recognized at the fourth annual Coverings Installation & Design (CID) Awards, which honors outstanding design and installation of tile in residential, commercial, sustainable and international projects.

A panel comprised of editors, designers, installation experts, and representatives from Ceramics of Italy, the Tile Council of North America, Tile of Spain and National Tile Contractors Association evaluated nearly 150 submissions based on technical execution, unique material applications, and overall design and purpose, and awarded high honors to those projects demonstrating spectacular tile and stone applications.

In total, $20,000 in prize money was awarded to the winning designers and installers during the inaugural CID Awards & Opening Night Celebration, held April 14, 2015 at the Orange County Convention Center.

In the tile category, PROCON Consulting Architects, Inc., and GSI Global Stone were awarded the grand prize for the Hilton Hawaiian Village resort in Honolulu, Hawaii. Grand prize winners received $2,000 and a one-night hotel stay in Orlando during Coverings.
