The Best Cleanroom Design Award recognises outstanding achievement in the planning, design, and implementation of cleanroom facilities.

This award honours designs that not only meet stringent contamination-control and regulatory requirements but also enhance operational productivity, sustainability, flexibility, and user experience.

This can include new builds as well as expansion and improvement projects.

Entry guidance:

• Provide an overview of the project
• Give any unique and/or interesting aspects of the project
• Explain how the design positively impacts contamination control, the product or process, and the staff, whilst considering sustainability, budget, and timeline
• Feedback from users or stakeholders is preferred

The Cleanroom Innovation Award recognises outstanding innovation that advances cleanroom technology, processes, or operational practices.

This award honours new ideas, products, systems, or approaches that address real-world cleanroom challenges and deliver measurable improvements in contamination control, efficiency, compliance, or usability.

This should be a single product, not a range, and can include new technologies, novel applications of existing technologies, or innovative operational practices.

Entry guidance:

• Provide an overview of the innovation and the problem it addresses, and how it is forward-thinking
• Describe what makes the innovation unique or different from existing solutions
• Explain how it has been implemented or tested in practice
• Feedback from users or stakeholders is preferred

The Cleanroom Training and Education Award recognises excellence in training programmes, educational tools, or initiatives that improve cleanroom knowledge, behaviour, and compliance.

This award honours training that effectively equips personnel with the skills and understanding required to maintain contamination control and operational consistency.

This can include in-person training programmes, digital platforms, simulations, or blended learning approaches.

Entry guidance:

• Provide an overview of the training or education approach
• Describe the target audience and learning objectives
• Demonstrate how the training improves cleanroom behaviour and compliance
• Provide evidence of measurable outcomes or performance improvements
• Feedback from participants or stakeholders is preferred
