FIT Installation of the Year is back for 2018
January 2018

The FIT Show may be in its rest year but the Installation of the Year competition is back for 2018 following its launch last year when the Twitter-based competition attracted more than 1,000 votes for over 200 entries.

The contest has additional opportunities for winners as this year it now has two separate categories, Commercial and Residential.

Entries are invited, for anything from facades and balustrades to conservatories and bi-folds, via Twitter by posting a picture of an installation to @FITShow and utilising either the hashtag for #Commercial or #Residential - to identify the relevant category - accompanied by a short description of the project. 

FIT Show event director Nickie West said: “The FIT Show is all about celebrating the great work that is being done throughout our industry and ‘Installation of the Year’ is our way of showcasing this. We were overwhelmed by the success of last year’s competition and wanted to maintain this platform to highlight the UK window and door industry at its very best. The excitement last year was incredible and we expect it to be even more successful over the next few months. 

“This is a chance for people to show their competitors and customers just what they can do, with the added kudos of taking home either the monthly or overall ‘Installation of the Year’ winners’ crown.”

The competition is open now and will run until June. Each month, entries will be showcased on the new FIT Show website, with one winner selected for each category by the official judging panel of industry experts.

Monthly prizes will be awarded to the winners in both categories, with the 6 monthly commercial and 6 monthly residential winners fighting it out to take home the overall ‘Installation of the Year’ crown in each category when it goes to public vote. 

Overall winners will be announced at the 2019 FIT Show Gala Dinner and, alongside the honour of having the ‘Installation of the Year’, winners will receive a trophy and a two-night stay at a golf/spa hotel with dinner.
