The Flooring Innovation Awards are returning for 2026, and entries are now open!
The industry’s prestigious awards scheme was launched by The Stocklists magazine in 2018 to great acclaim and welcomed across the industry as an exceptional, independent award scheme. Judged by a truly independent panel of flooring and interior design experts, the awards are a badge of honour for their deserving winners, and a clear signpost to quality for buyers. This year the awards are once again searching for the best and most innovative products from across the industry, with companies able to enter their products on the FIA website.
As always, there are 10 categories:
Carpets & rugs – natural fibre
Carpets & rugs – man-made fibre
Smooths (vinyls, laminate, cork, woods)
Design – carpets and rugs
Design – smooths
Underlay & accessories (trims, profiles, anti-slip, etc.)
Installation, products & tools
Environmental initiatives
Marketing concepts and merchandising/POS
Technologies (techniques, apps, online, etc.)
From the initial list of entries, the independent judging panel will select 40 category winners (four per category) that represent excellence and quality in each area, to be announced in The Stocklists’ September issue. Following that, the judges will once again convene to choose the very best among that list for this year’s 10 Gold Winners, to be announced at Harrogate’s The Flooring Show on the 20 September.
Entries will be open until July, so there is plenty of time, but none to waste if you wish to get your products in front of the FIA judges in time for consideration. Visit the link below to submit your entry for this year’s Flooring Innovation Awards.
