Nominations are now being accepted for the KBIS Outstanding Media Award. Now in its third year, the KBIS Outstanding Media Award is an opportunity to honor a member of the media for their continued support and promotion of the kitchen and bath industry. These talented editors, bloggers, television and radio hosts are instrumental in conveying messages to promote and explore the industry through trend reports, new product introductions, projects and business news. To honor the demonstrated commitments of so many members of this community, the National Kitchen & Bath Association (NKBA) and the Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS) are calling on the kitchen and bath community for nominations for the KBIS 2015 Outstanding Media Award.
New for 2015, KBIS exhibitors, attendees and members of the media are invited to nominate a member of the media. The deadline for nominations is October 31, 2014.
To be eligible, all nominees must meet the criteria noted on the nomination form found here:
