Nominations Open for 2025 Cabling Innovators Awards Program
Cabling Installation & Maintenance is now accepting entries for our 2025 Cabling Innovators Awards program. The program recognizes products, projects, and programs that demonstrate innovation in a variety of forms. It is now in its 11th year.
Organizations complete self-nominations online, and an entry fee applies.
Honorees will be announced in late 2025 and an awards ceremony will take place in early 2026. A panel of industry experts will judge each entry and determine which are worthy of receiving platinum, gold, or silver level recognition.
Judges are asked to evaluate—and entrants are asked to emphasize in their submissions—any or all of the following characteristics that make a product, project, or program worthy of receiving an award.
- Innovative approach to project or system design or implementation
- Value to the user, which can be measured by such qualities as return-on-investment, loss prevention, or business-efficiency gains
- Positive impact on the customer
- Sustainability, characterized by overall eco-friendliness, long-term value, lifecycle cost-effectiveness, or other measures
- Meeting a defined need as a well-conceived, well-executed initiative that fully met specific user requirements
- Collaboration, including communication and cooperation throughout the value chain through which the product or system was developed, procured, or deployed
- Impact, which can be identified by describing the difference made on the professionals involved, on the productivity of users, and/or on society as a whole
