Awards 2021 The ISSA Show Innovation Awards, an annual program honouring trailblazing companies in the commercial, institutional, and residential cleaning community, is open for voting through 12 November 2021.

Distributors, wholesalers, manufacturer representatives, building service contractors, residential cleaners, and in- house service providers can vote for the product they feel has had the most significant impact in the professional cleaning industry. In addition to collecting online votes, a judging panel of industry experts also considers criteria such as sustainability, originality, practicality, and more.

Meanwhile, the five Honoree Awards and the Innovation of the Year Award will be named during the Innovation Award Ceremony on Thursday 18 November at 1PM in the Innovation Showcase, Booth #266.
