The 17th annual Showroom of the Year Awards will be presented at the June 24-27, 2026, Lightovation show in partnership between Dallas Market Center and Linda Longo, Editor-in-Chief of Lighting News Now.
Anyone in the industry may nominate a lighting retailer for these prestigious awards, and a store may also enter their own business. Any independent lighting retailer in North America is eligible. All nominations must be received by March 2, 2026.
If you are entering your own business, click ENTER below; if you are nominating a store, click NOMINATE.
Note that both forms must be completed in one sitting--you are not able to save the form for completion later. It is advised that you review the form first and start filling it our when you are prepared to complete it in its entirety. Retailers are also required to upload a minimum of three store photos, so entrants should have those files ready for upload as well.
Finalists will be announced in categories based on annual revenue, and one Showroom of the Year winner will be named in each category. All Finalists will also be eligible for specialty awards in the areas of merchandising display, community involvement and technological innovation.
If you have any questions, please contact Linda Longo.
