We are excited to announce the opening of nominations for the 2025 IEC National Awards – a distinguished platform that celebrates outstanding achievement, innovation, and expertise within the electrical contracting sector. The IEC National Awards program spotlights our members, showcasing skills and accomplishments, leadership, inspiration and innovation.  We encourage you to submit nominations and share your success stories as we unite to honor the incredible achievements and contributions of the electrical contracting community. Let’s get started!

INSTRUCTIONS

Step One: Review all award opportunities and criteria here.      

Step Two: Go to the Awards platform home: https://iecawards.secure-platform.com/site -

  • To log in (if you already have an account) - you will see the log in fields on the left of the screen.

  • To create an account, you will click My Account in the upper right corner. Complete the fields and click Register.

Step Three: Now you can begin a new submission.  There are two ways to access the 2025 Awards Submission form.

Step Four: 

  • The person who is completing the submission is considered the 'Primary Collaborator' and will be the person who finalizes and submits.
  • If you are nominating someone else and need their assistance with populating responses, you will add them as a 'Collaborator'.
    • Use the SAVE button on the submission form to save information as it is entered.  Do not click SAVE AND FINALIZE on the submission form UNTIL your Collaborator has notified you that the form is ready to submit.


To add a Collaborator, click the blue button at the top right 'Manage Collaborators'.

 

 

And then click 'Add Collaborator'.

 

  • Once a Collaborator is added, he/she will receive a system generated email with the link to the portal. 

  • When the Collaborator logs in, he/she will see an 'Incomplete' listed under My Applications on the left side of the screen.  This is the submission form to be updated.

    • Note: Only one user can be editing a submission at a time.  The platform will lock the record as one user is editing it to avoid accidental overwriting of another's information.

    • IMPORTANT: The Collaborator should notify the Primary Collaborator when they have finished populating fields.

  • The Primary Collaborator is the person who can submit the finalized submission form.  If that person prefers to 'transfer' their primary role over to the other Collaborator, click the 'Manage Collaborators' button and next to the Collaborator's name, click 'Make Primary'. (Access can also be removed from a Collaborator by clicking 'Remove Access'.)

Step Five: Once you have submitted your nomination, you will receive notification of your submission within the portal and via the confirmation page/email.

Final Phase: The submission process will run from April 1 to June 30, 2025.  Judging will be finalized by July 31, 2025. IEC National will notify all finalists in each category in August 2025.  Winners will be recognized at an upcoming IEC National event.

 

All winners except the following will be recognized at SPARK 2025 - September 26-28, Phoenix, AZ:

  • Chapter Growth Awardees and Legislative Impact Awardee will be recognized at IEC Business Summit 2026 - January 25-28, Savannah, GA.
  • National Advocacy Awardees will be recognized at IEC Policy Conference 2026 - date/location TBD.

Best Wishes,

IEC National
