2026 Top Job ContesT:
A Member Competition to Honor & Inspire Outstanding Work

 


The NOMMA Top Job Contest is a peer-judged competition created to honor outstanding work. NOMMA members from around the world compete for awards in 17 categories, including forged and non-forged work ranging from gates and stairs to furniture and accessories.

NOMMA compiles entries from all the open categories into a printed and digital publication, the Top Job Gallery Magazine, which gives members an opportunity to review projects in greater detail and provides a keepsake of all the projects submitted. NOMMA members judge the entries and select each year's winners.

Submissions are accepted from 9/3 until 11/3 in 2025.

Voting will be held from 1/5 until 2/5 in 2026. 

Winners will be announced at the 2026 METALfab Awards Dinner on 2/12/26 in Reno, Nevada. See you there!
