Canadian furniture retailers make a significant contribution to the success of Trillium. Each year a panel of jurors with international buying experience, representing retail furniture businesses from all regions of Canada, meets to select the winners. Entries are evaluated using specific criteria based on Construction, Styling, Marketability, and overall Value to the Consumer.

The Trillium Trophy is presented to the entry that receives the highest number of votes in each category. The Trillium Merit Award recognizes the value of the points allocated by the Jury thereby meriting consideration as a Winner.

The Trillium Summit Awards represent significant status, as they are symbols of outstanding Achievement and Excellence. The Summit Award for Canadian Content is given to the entry judged for the best use of Canadian materials. The Summit Award for Canadian Design or adaptation is presented to the entry judged to be the most original Canadian design.

The Grand Trillium symbolizes the "Best of Show" and is presented annually to the Trillium Award Winner who has accumulated the highest number of points allocated by the Jury. It best illustrates the true meaning of Trillium!

Canadian Furniture is globally recognized for quality and value to the consumer. Trillium is a Measure of that Excellence!
