The Call for Entries encourages nominations from every sector of the construction industry.

The Construction Innovation Forum (CIF) is an international, non-profit organization that was formed in 1987 to recognize innovations in the construction industry that improve the quality, productivity, and cost effectiveness of construction.

Twenty-three (23) innovations worldwide have received the CIF's prestigious NOVA Award since the award's inception in 1987. Winners of the NOVA Award are selected by a distinguished jury who follow a thorough selection process.
