Integrity Windows and Doors has opened the call for entries in its 2017 Red Diamond Achiever (RDA) Award Program, an annual competition designed to honor the exceptional work of industry professionals who use Integrity window and door products in their residential and commercial projects.

Open to qualified candidates through 10 a.m. CST on July 14, 2017, the RDA Award program gives professionals a way to showcase their efforts, earn industry-wide recognition and join a select group of past award recipients. The winners of this year’s competition will receive a VIP trip to the company’s headquarters in Warroad, Minn., a donation to the charity of their choice, public relations support and a winner’s badge to use in their marketing materials.

A nationally recognized panel of industry experts will select up to five Red Diamond Achiever Award winners, based on projects that demonstrate creativity, overcoming construction challenges, architecture, complexity and sustainability. All projects must be complete in order to be considered. The 2017 judging panel includes:

• Lou Manfredini, nationally recognized DIY expert, host of Ask Mr. Fix-It, Lou Manfredini’s Home Improvement Minute and HouseSmarts, and TODAY contributor;
• Brian Pontolilo, consulting editor at Fine Homebuilding;
• Shawn McCadden, nationally known speaker, business trainer, columnist and award-winning remodeler, and;
• Christine Marvin, fenestration expert and director of corporate strategy at Marvin Windows and Doors.

“The Red Diamond Achiever Award represents an opportunity for us to recognize the innovative work being done by the best professionals in the industry,” said Christine Marvin, director of corporate strategy at Marvin. “Each year, I’m inspired by the thoughtful use of Integrity window and door products to solve design and construction challenges and achieve performance goals, without compromising. The talent we see is just the tip of the iceberg, and we’re eager to see what this year’s competition brings.”

Judged awards will be announced in August 2017 on Integrity’s website.
