Awards Programs

The Association of Pool & Spa Professionals is dedicated to honoring and rewarding the best work in our industry.

We have several annual awards programs, including:

• The International Awards of Excellence, which recognize and reward installations of pools, hot tubs, and water features representing the most beautiful and creative examples of the industry’s efforts.

• The Eagle Award, which is presented by the APSP Hot Tub Council to recognize an individual whose efforts have demonstrated the highest commitment and service to the advancement of the hot water industry, embodying an overall spirit of pride and dedication.

• The INSPIRE Award, which stands for the “Industry Nomination for Spa Promotion and Innovation, Recognizing Excellence.” The INSPIRE Award recognizes a company’s total contributions to the hot tub segment of the recreational water industry whose efforts embody an overall spirit of pride, dedication, and service. 

• The CBP of the Year Award, which is the APSP Builders Council's most prestigious award. It is considered to be a lifetime achievement award and is presented to a pool builder who has earned the CBP Certified Building Professional® designation, the highest certification awarded to APSP members, and whose accomplishments over a lifetime have made a major contribution to the pool industry profession.
