ORLANDO, FL -- Coverings, the largest international tile and stone exhibition in North America, recently announced the 10 projects that received the coveted Coverings Installation & Design (CID) Awards. The CID Awards celebrate outstanding achievements in the design and installation of tile and stone in both residential and commercial projects. Projects were evaluated on their execution, original usage and overall design and purpose by a panel of industry experts, prominent editors and designers.

“We were amazed at the extraordinary project submissions the CID Awards garner, which truly demonstrates the versatility of tile and stone,” said Jennifer Hoff, president of Taffy Events, the management company for Coverings. “As North America’s largest industry show, Coverings is honored to offer these annual awards to recognize the range of creative ingenuity and sophisticated applications that showcase the latest industry advancements.”

Winning projects were honored on April 10 in an award ceremony and reception at Coverings 2019 in Orlando, FL, which was sponsored by TileLetter, Contemporary Stone & Tile Design and TILE Magazine. Grand prize winners were awarded $3,000, while eight category winners received a $2,000 prize.
