It’s Time—CEAs Nominations Are Open!

Jennifer Polanz

It’s time to tell us all about yourself, and possibly get recognized for all your hard work, via the Cultivating Excellence Awards (the CEAs for short), presented by Indoor Ag-Con and Inside Grower magazine. Nomination forms for this year’s awards are now open for three categories:

Operational Excellence—Recognizing a single CEA commercial grower that delivers quality products while distinguishing itself through innovation in production, technology, marketing and/or overall strategy.

Good Stewardship—Recognizing a commercial indoor grower that showcases exemplary initiative in resource conservation, recycling, employee development and/or community service.

Product Innovation—Celebrating an innovative product that solves critical industry challenges and drives customer value.

Once nomination forms are in, we’ll choose three finalists in each category. Each of those companies will receive one All-Access Pass to Indoor Ag-Con at the Westgate, Las Vegas, February 11-12, 2026, as well as an invite to the Gala Luncheon where we’ll announce the winners on February 11.

Our winners will be featured in upcoming issues of Inside Grower magazine. Don’t delay, make sure you complete your entry HERE today!
