Design the Pin. Define the Legacy.

Each year, IHFRA members proudly wear a custom-designed lapel pin. More than a badge, it’s a symbol of connection, recognition, and it grants free access to all ANDMORE tradeshows for our members (including High Point, Atlanta, and Las Vegas Market)! Now, it’s your turn to shape that symbol.

 

The 2026 Lapel Pin Design Contest is officially open, and we want YOUR creativity to shine.

Whether you're a rep, designer, manufacturer, or student—this contest is open to anyone in the industry and is your opportunity to leave your mark. One winning design will be selected, and the designer will receive a free one-year IHFRA membership (a $165 value!) as a thank you for their contribution!

From bold and modern to timeless and refined, we know our community is full of creative thinkers. This is your chance to show the heart and spirit of the IHFRA through design. We're looking for artwork that reflects:

  • The professionalism and pride of being an IHFRA member

  • The dynamic nature of our evolving industry

  • A design that’s small—but mighty—on impact

Contest Instructions:

  • To be eligible, entries must be submitted by Friday, July 11th 2025. (Winners will be announced after July 25th)

  • Please make sure your design is clear, scalable, and easy to reproduce at lapel pin size (typically around 1" - 1.25")

  • Preferred file types: JPEG, PNG, PDF, or SVG.

  • Please consult our 2025 IHFRA Brand Guidelines to help guide your design process:
