The Pool & Hot Tub Alliance announced this year’s winners of the PHTA International Awards of Excellence. These awards recognize exceptional installations of pools, spas, hot tubs and water features that showcase the most beautiful, creative and innovative work in the industry.

Each year, hundreds of entries are submitted from across the globe, and the program saw a 46% increase in submissions this year compared to last year, the highest number since 2019.

The PHTA International Awards of Excellence competition is open to PHTA members who are pool, spa or hot tub builders as well as installers, designers, retailers or service companies that receive payment for the submitted project. The judging panel is comprised of industry professionals across building, design, service, operations and retail.
