The 2013 Visionary Award will be presented at the VISION 2013 Consumer Products Conference, which will be held at the Hilton Walt Disney Resort in Orlando, Florida. The annual VISION Conference is organized by INDA and each year it brings together hundreds of executives from nonwovens and consumer products companies around the world for three days of education and networking.
The process and criteria for the 2013 Visionary Award are simple:
1. The finished consumer end product must contain a nonwoven fabric or utilize a nonwoven technology during its manufacturing process.
2. The consumer product has to have been introduced to the trade or to consumers in 2011-12.
3. The product cannot have been selected as a finalist in any previous Visionary Award competition.
4. Companies can nominate their own products. While any number of products can be nominated, only one product per company will be selected as a finalist.
Products will be judged on their novel use of nonwoven technology, as well as on their consumer and trade acceptance. Eligible consumer product categories include disposable diapers, feminine hygiene product, adult incontinence products, household wipes and home filters, among others.
The nominees will be reviewed by an INDA selection committee and finalists will be selected to make presentations at the VISION 2013 Consumer Products Conference. Conference attendees will then vote on the recipient of the award and the recipient is announced on the final day of the VISION 2013 Consumer Products Conference.
Earlier this year the Stomp 'N Go Stain Lifting Pad from Bissell Homecare was named the recipient of the prestigious 2012 Visionary Award, presented at the VISION 2012 Consumer Products Conference in New Orleans, Louisiana.
