2020 Virtual New Product Contest

New products are in the spotlight!

Seeing new products, technologies and services is a top priority for the majority of attendees at the Irrigation Show. Although we won’t be seeing you in San Antonio this year, many manufacturers have participated in our VIRTUAL new product contest in conjunction with Education Week+! This year’s contest is sponsored by Rain Bird Corporation.

  • agriculture irrigation
  • landscape irrigation
  • landscape lighting
  • specialty agriculture irrigation*
  • specialty landscape irrigation*

*The specialty categories are  products that are not an integral part of an irrigation system or landscape lighting system.
