Finally, AFS is accepting nominations for the annual New Product Award for products launched in 2019 or 2020 (because AFS did not have an awards presentation in 2020, award nominations will be accepted for products introduced in either year). For 2019 products, nominators should use this form. For 2020 products, nominators should use this form.

Nominations for all awards will be accepted through Friday, March 5.

All award winners will be recognized and honored at the 2021 AFS FiltCon, which is all virtual this year.
