A company may submit only one product in a single category, but may submit the same product across multiple categories. 

Please note that the rules for submission changed during the Best of 2015 Awards nomination period; your submissions no longer have to be new. Due to this rule change in the 2015 nomination period, some industry leading manufacturers and suppliers were unaware and did not participate. We would like to acknowledge this and encourage all companies who have achieved excellence in a category to participate in the Best of 2016 Awards. Complete your nomination now.

The Best of Awards for each show will be evaluated and determined by a panel of judges chosen by the official publication sponsors. Awards will be presented by representatives from the sponsoring publications and TISE show management. Winners will also be featured in a post-show press release, featured on the show's social media channels and highlighted on TISEwest.com.
