Greenhouse Grower’s Medal of Excellence Awards Are Off and Running!

Posted by Brian Sparks|July 1, 2020

Greenhouse Grower’s Medal of Excellence Awards, which in years past have been announced during an evening reception at Cultivate, are a great way to recognize excellence in plant breeding, innovation in greenhouse technology, and more.

While it’s disappointing we can’t be with you in person at Cultivate to honor this year’s award winners, we’re grateful that technology allows us to continue the Medal of Excellence tradition, even if it’s in a slightly different format.

For the next six weeks during July and into the first week in August, be sure to watch for a video in our Benchrunner enewsletter announcing one Medal of Excellence award winner each week, including our Medal of Excellence for Best New Technology as well as our awards for innovations in breeding and new varieties. And this year, we will honor the winners of our Grower of the Year and Operation of the Year awards at Greenhouse Grower’s new GROW Executive Summit event in December. You can learn more about this new event at GrowExecutiveSummit.com.

Check out the video below to learn more about how all of this year’s awards will be presented and to learn about the finalists for the Medal of Excellence Award for Technology. This award recognizes new innovation in structures, automation, or equipment that makes crop production more efficient while improving plant quality. The Technology of the Year winner will be announced in the Benchrunner enewsletter on July 8.

Finally, we want to call your attention to the always popular Reader’s Choice Award. Voting is now open; click here for more!
