The International Surface Event (TISE) is expanding its popular Regional Competitions for National Installer of the Year in 2024. Each flooring installer who competes in a regional competition will receive a $200 allowance, and installers of all experience levels and from all locations are invited to participate. 

This year’s regional competitions will take place in the following locations on the following dates:  

• Baltimore, MD - July 21-22
• Hayward, CA - August 11-12
• Fort Wayne, IN - September 8-9
• Dallas, TX - October 6-7 

Participants will compete in either carpet or luxury vinyl plank (LVP) installations, and a finalist from each category in each location will advance to the national competition. TISE will fly all finalists to Las Vegas for the TISE 2024 final competition to compete for the National Installer of the Year titles. 

A panel of judges will review entries to compete in each of the four regional competitions. To apply for entry to the competition and make your mark in the industry, submit photos of your best work through the form available here.
