2025 ISSA Excellence Awards Program Opens Call for Submissions

ISSA is currently accepting submissions for the 2025 ISSA Excellence Awards. The annual awards program will recognise the most innovative and high-quality cleaning and facility solutions products and services during the 2025 ISSA Cleaning & Hygiene Expo, which takes place 29-30 October 2025 at the International Convention Centre Sydney (ICC Sydney).

Open to all exhibiting companies of the 2025 ISSA Cleaning & Hygiene Expo, the awards will honour cleaning and facility solutions products for their improved performance, productivity, safety or sustainability.

This year’s program has been expanded to spotlight products in eight categories with the addition of the Environmental Awareness & Sustainability Award and the People’s Choice Award. Winners will be chosen by a panel of judges, except for the People’s Choice Award, which will be determined by onsite voting by attendees of the ISSA Cleaning & Hygiene Expo.

All attendees are invited to visit the ISSA Innovation Zone, which will be showcasing the awards finalists on the ICC Sydney show floor, to cast their vote for the People’s Choice Award.

The 2025 ISSA Excellence Awards recipients will be revealed during a special networking event taking place 29 October, with the exception of the People’s Choice Award winner, which will be announced on 30 October at the conclusion of the ISSA Cleaning & Hygiene Expo.

“We are extremely excited to expand the ever-popular ISSA Excellence awards to eight categories this year,” said ISSA Oceania Manager Lauren Micallef. “As the cleaning and facility solutions world continues to drive innovation, these awards offer the ideal opportunity to spotlight our industry’s impressive ingenuity over the past year.”

• Equipment

• Cleaning Agents
• Service and Technology
