JUDGES
An independent panel of judges made up of independent flooring industry leaders and commentators will select the best after detailed research of submissions.
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.
In 2021, the judges will pick winners in 10 key categories and also choose a select few for the Gold awards - the "best of the best".
The Flooring Innovation Awards are proudly sponsored by The Stocklists
