Awards

                         

SPFA's National Industry Excellence Awards are presented annually at the SprayFoam Convention and Expo to honor our contractor members for their innovative, trail-blazing projects. 60-100 different entries are received from SPFA member contractors every year, representing their best work from the preceding year. The projects are judged by an independent panel, and are scored based on exceptional quality work, the uniqueness of their project, speed of application, ability to solve special problems and challenges, and special safety considerations.​ These projects are divided into several categories described below, and a runner-up and winner is awarded for each category.
