The Hog Ring - Show Off Your Craftsmanship in the 2026 Keyston Choice Awards

The Keyston Choice Awards are back and ready to recognize standout upholstery installations from across the marine, automotive, awning, and furniture worlds.

If you’ve wrapped up a project you’re proud of—and it features a Keyston Bros product—this is your chance to put it in the spotlight.

“As we ring in the new year, it’s the perfect time to celebrate the incredible installations crafted by our talented customers using Keyston Bros’ products,” said Brooke Kahn, Senior VP of Marketing at Keyston Bros. “Your creativity and skill inspire us, and we want to recognize and reward your exceptional work!”

The Categories

The awards span a total of 10 categories, covering a wide range of installation types.

Awning

This category covers shade sails and general awning installations.

Automotive

The automotive category is broken down into five subcategories:

  • Van Conversion / Bus / RV / Camper Installation
  • Motorcycle / ATV Installation
  • Golf Cart Installation
  • Auto Upholstery (Hot Rod, Classic Car, Vintage) Installation
  • Auto Upholstery (All Other Vehicle Types) Installation

Marine

Marine installations are divided into three subcategories:

  • Marine Enclosure Installation
  • Marine Cover Installation
  • Marine Upholstery Installation

Furniture

This category includes both commercial and residential furniture installations.

How to Enter

Entering is simple. Shops are asked to submit a single high-quality photo of an installation that clearly features a Keyston Bros product. Entries can be emailed directly to installations@keystonbros.com or submitted by tagging @keystonbros on social media.

Along with the photo, Keyston asks that you include the category you’re entering, your shop name, location, and the specific Keyston product used in the project.

The deadline to enter is Friday, February 6, 2026.

What You Can Win

Keyston Bros will select first- and second-place winners in each category.

Winning installations will be featured on Keyston Bros’ social media channels, giving shops additional exposure within the industry. First-place winners will receive a $150 credit, while second-place winners will receive a $75 credit.

All first- and second-place winners will also receive a customized plaque recognizing their work.

Let’s Goooo!

Winners will be announced on Monday, February 16, 2026.

For shops looking to kick off the year with some recognition—and show off the quality of their work, the Keyston Choice Awards offer a straightforward way to do just that. If you’ve got an installation that stands out, now’s the time to submit it and let your craftsmanship shine.
