The International Casual Furnishings Association presents more than 110 entries in its 2012 design excellence Awards competition. This prestigious annual awards event is the only design recognition focused exclusively on outdoor furnishings products. The competition is open to ICFA members who will be exhibiting at the 2012 International Casual Furniture & Accessories Market and ICFA fabric suppliers.
     The competition provides ICFA members with the opportunity to showcase their latest designs and "really show what is new and exciting to the industry and to their consumers," ICFA Executive Director Joe Logan said. Through the annual competition, ICFA seeks to recognize the outdoor furnishings industry's best in design.
     Winning any of the competition's 11 categories encourages designers, manufacturers, sales reps, customer service employees and others who are involved with producing home furnishings, which are developed to withstand outdoor elements and to enhance the overall home environment.
     All companies in the competition are encouraged to attend the members-only ICFA Awards Reception at 6:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 21, at The School of the Art Institute Ballroom, Chicago. The winner of the Lillian B. Winchester "Best of Show" Award will be announced at the reception. Additional awards presented the same evening include the ICFA Sales Representative of the Year and the ICFA Manufacturer Leadership Awards.
