2025 Glass Magazine Awards

The 2025 Glass Magazine Awards winners pushed the boundaries of what glass and glazing are capable of doing. This year’s 10 project award winners and seven product award winners exemplify what it means to think outside of the box and act with innovation in mind. This year, there were 78 total nominations across the project categories and 39 nominations for products. 

Projects this year boasted eccentric designs inspired by the natural world, while always continuing to meet the design intent of the project—including energy efficiency, decreasing carbon footprint, daylight and overall functionality. 

In honor of Glass Magazine’s 75th anniversary this year, a new project category was added—Best Retrospective Project. This new category received an impressive number of submissions as those in the industry sought to showcase their iconic and historic projects and retrofits. Also new this year to the project awards is the category Best Internal Training Program. As the glass and glazing industry seeks to hire and train skilled labor, implementing effective internal training programs is essential, and we’re proud to showcase one here.

“The Glass Magazine Awards showcase what is best in the world of glass and fenestration, and this year’s winners are no exception,” says Glass Magazine Editor Norah Dick. “It feels especially meaningful to have such a strong showing of all that glass can do—for occupants, for the environment and for our broader infrastructure—during the magazine’s 75th anniversary year. Glass has come a long way in the last century, transforming into a high-performance building material that is crucial for our infrastructure.”

New to the product competition this year is the Best Digital Tool category, which highlights the growing use of software and automation across the industry.

The awards program is only possible with the expertise of our project award judges, who lend their time and experience to adjudicate the project competition. We would also like to thank the wider industry for taking the time to vote in the public products competition.

Glass Magazine’s editorial staff thanks all the companies that took the time to complete a nomination form. We realize that many more industry companies have outstanding projects and products they could showcase.
