Submissions for the 2026 International Achievement Awards (IAA) are due Aug. 28. Project submissions are $25 per entry, and winners are recognized online, in print and at Advanced Textiles Expo®, Nov. 3–5, 2026 in Orlando, Fla.
For more than 75 years, the IAAs recognize outstanding and innovative projects representing the latest accomplishments in design and manufacture incorporating specialty fabrics. The 46-category competition, sponsored by Advanced Textiles Association (ATA) since 1946, allows ATA members to display work, gain professional recognition and become distinguished on an international level.
The IAAs have recognized technical skill and design excellence in projects across the industry that incorporate specialty fabrics into their design. Entries are judged by industry experts and design professionals who are individually selected for their expertise in a particular field of study or product area. All projects entered are automatically listed in the IAA online gallery, which is promoted year-round.
Marine fabrication projects can also be entered in the Fabrication Excellence Awards, which is exclusively open to Marine Fabricators Association members; submissions are due Sept. 30. Unlike previous years, Fabrication Excellence Award entries will not be automatically entered into the IAAs and must be done manually.
