The biggest award in kitchen & bath continues at KBIS 2015
The Biggest Award in Kitchen & Bath returns to Las Vegas for KBIS 2015. Just like the show, the annual Best of KBIS awards continue to grow for Design & Construction Week™ 2015, happening January 20-22, 2015. Showcasing the best of the kitchen and bath industry, enter now to have your product honored as one of 2015’s best new innovations.
“Every year, we see products submitted for Best of KBIS that push the envelope,” said Brian Pagel, VP Kitchen and Bath Group, Emerald Expositions. “Best of KBIS offers the industry the opportunity to recognize the ingenuity of the products and the people behind them.”
Entries into Best of KBIS will be displayed at the show via “larger than life” product walls located in the North and South Halls of the Las Vegas Convention Center. Show attendees will be able to see at a quick glance which products are entered, and then visit the brand at their booth on the show floor to see the product live. KBIS will work with exhibitors to identify the entry within the booth by way of a special “Best of KBIS Entry” sign.
Exhibiting Manufacturers (KBIS, and “shared accounts” with IBS) must submit their best products via KBIS Connect to be considered, for more information, please download the entry guide by clicking here. Members of the Modenus BlogTour Las Vegas will judge this year’s competition. Winners will be announced on Wednesday, January 21, 2015 at 11AM on Center Stage in the NKBA Booth.
