Advanced Textiles Association (ATA) and the Marine Fabricators Association (MFA) announce that submissions for the 2027 MFA Fabrication Excellence Awards are due Sept. 30.

This awards program is exclusively open to Marine Fabricators Association (MFA) members. From design excellence to quality workmanship, MFA Fabrication Excellence Awards showcase projects that represent the breadth of the industry.

Project submissions are $45 per entry, and winners are recognized online, in print and at the Marine Fabricators Conference, Jan. 7-9, 2027, in Nashville, Tenn. Fabricators should set up a project after purchasing. Once the purchase is complete, click the button at the bottom of the screen that says “manage entries.” This will lead to a page to begin the project application process on the entries purchased. Click the “Edit” button to start entering project information. Fabricators may go back and purchase more entries later, if they wish.

Questions about submitting projects can be sent to ATA member programs supervisor Tara Houston.
