Discover Gallery FAQs
How many projects are selected?
We select 18 projects in total and award six of them a Firebrand Award.
When do you announce the winning entries?
We will announce and launch all 18 projects when ICC goes live on September 22nd, 2026. Each winner will already have their final video before then. Please coordinate with our Marketing team for social-media posts and press releases.
What happens if I don’t get end user approval by the conference?
Without end user approval, we can’t present your project at ICC. But we may still follow up in the future to make your project a case study.
Can I submit a project from previous years?
Yes! Your project did not have to be completed this year, but it needs to have been successfully implemented. It can even be a project you’ve submitted for the Discover Gallery in the past that wasn’t selected.
What’s my involvement if my project is selected?
If you’re a Firebrand winner, our media team will travel to film a special video on-site and conduct interviews. If your project gets into the Discover Gallery but isn't a Firebrand winner, our media team will discuss various options with you to make a great video remotely.
What does IA do with these videos?
We play all 18 videos live at ICC in our designated Discover Gallery space. We post them to our ICC site, Inductive Automation’s website, and on social media. We also share the videos with the companies who submitted them.
Who picks the winners?
Inductive Automation picks all final entries and lets everyone know in May if they are in the Discover Gallery and if they will receive a Firebrand Award.
How do you grade the projects?
We have four separate internal committees that rate the submissions on uniqueness, UX/UI design, architectural complexity, difficulty level, and if this project had a positive impact on the industry, company, or an individual.
Can I submit multiple projects?
Yes! But we will only select one per company even if you submit multiple entries.
Can I enter if I’ve won before?
Yes! We’ve had integrators win multiple times throughout the years.
Does my company get to keep the video after ICC?
Yes! The video is as much yours as it is ours, and you’re welcome to share it on your site and social media after ICC begins.
