Glass Magazine’s editorial staff is pleased to announce the winners of the 2026 Glass Magazine Awards, the long-running glass industry competition. This year’s awards program recognizes the best projects, products, programs and personnel in the glass industry.

Two new award categories were introduced to the program this year. The new Legacy Leadership Award shines a light on individuals who make this industry so exemplary. Those nominated for this award are glass industry veterans whose work, leadership and expertise have helped to shape the glass industry. This year’s competition also included a new category: “Architect’s Choice.” A panel of judges, all architects, had the opportunity to select their superlative project from among 77 project nominations.

“From groundbreaking projects to the products, programs and people driving us forward, these honorees represent the very best of what makes this community superlative,” says National Glass Association president and CEO Lakisha A. Woods. “This year’s addition of two new categories is a great reminder that this industry is always growing, and that there are so many ways to recognize the people and work that make it exemplary. The Architects’ choice award demonstrates how critical glass is to the successful performance of the built environment. To all the winners: thank you for raising the bar and inspiring the rest of us. I can’t wait to celebrate you at GlassBuild America!”

The competition’s eight winning projects and nine winning products, programs and personnel, will be featured in the August issue of Glass Magazine. Winners will also be recognized at a ceremony at GlassBuild America in Las Vegas, Sept. 23–25. Projects and personnel will be honored on Sept. 23 from 8:40 A.M. to 9 A.M. and products and programs will be honored on Sept. 24 from 8:40 A.M. to 9 A.M.
