Glass Magazine has announced the winners in the 2012 Glass Magazine Award product and project categories.

Online, industry‐wide voting is currently underway for the newly introduced people component of the Glass Magazine Awards recognizing the industry’s best installer, production supervisor, project manager and sales rep. Winners in these categories will be announced in the September 2012 issue of Glass Magazine. To read about the winners, visit 2012 Glass Magazine Award Winners

Winners in the product and project categories were selected by a panel of judges representing all segments of the glass industry.

"In spite of a tentative economy, there is still plenty of innovation and creativity being realized in built form," says Glass Magazine Award Judge John Stephenson, design director for Richard Wittschiebe Hand Architects, Atlanta.

Adds Judge James Whaley, vice president and general manager for Curtainwall Services Inc., Elmhurst, Ill., "When given the opportunity to truly be creative in this challenging and evolving industry, it never fails to amaze me how far we can reach, and even more, how far we have come."

Special thanks go to Glass Magazine Award sponsor GGI, Secaucus, N.J., for producing the 2012 Glass Magazine Award plaques, and to C.R. Laurence Co., Los Angeles, for supplying the hardware.
