Prepare for the 2011 Design Awards!

The FSPA Design Awards are a way to celebrate the fine workmanship and hard work that is put into building a great swimming pool, spa or water feature. Licensed pool builders judge each project on soundness of design, beauty, functionality, workmanship and client testimony.

Winners receive a plaque that displays a photo of the pool and the award they received. They can also use the Design Award Winner logo as a marketing tool. All winners will be recognized at the Orlando Pool & Spa Show. An award reception will be held Thursday, February 10 and the pools will be on display inside and outside of the exhibit hall during the Show.

2011 Design Award entries are due October 29, 2010.
