Why we made the room

Your work deserves to be seen and celebrated

For years the epoxy trade had no night of its own. No formal recognition. No shared standard that said this is what excellence looks like. Two people who came up through the trade decided that was a gap worth closing.

Eagle Kianes came up as an artist, an installer, and a mentor, pushing what a poured floor could be and teaching others to refine the craft. Diamond Janczak brought the structure and the long view. From that, The Golden Pour Awards was built: a stage for the installers who turn concrete into art, and a way to reinvest in the trade that raised them both.

Your work deserves to be seen and celebrated.

Founded by Eagle Kianes & Diamond Janczak, The Golden Pour Foundation.

The evening, beat by beat

Step out of the work boots and onto the carpet

A red carpet, the full ceremony, then a reception under the same gold light. The floors you have poured become the art on the wall.

First, the arrival

The Red Carpet

You walk the carpet. Photographers, the press wall, your name announced as you arrive. The room fills with the people whose floors you have only seen in photos.

The same arrival the work has always deserved.
The moment of the night Then, the ceremony

The Award Is Called

The full awards program, hosted by Alessio “The Truth.” A name is read, the trophy is lifted, and the room comes to its feet for the best in the trade. This is the stage the floors have earned.

No one person will ever be bigger than the program.
After, the reception

The Reception

The night carries on. A networking reception, 21 and over, where the people you only know online are finally across the table from you. The whole trade in one room.

The night the work, and the people, stay celebrated.

The honor

Honoring the best epoxy installers nationwide

Metallic pours that stop a person in a doorway. Marble effects, flake, resin work poured by hand and held to a standard most people never see. This is the art under everyone’s feet, and the people who make it.

We celebrate the installers who work with precision, take pride in their work, and consistently deliver exceptional floors.

Common Questions

Is this a trade show or a vendor expo?
No. The Golden Pour Awards is a formal, artist-first recognition gala. The night is built to honor craftsmanship and leadership within the industry, not to operate as a vendor marketplace.
What does my ticket include?
Red carpet access, entry to the full awards ceremony, professional photography access, a networking reception, and the official Golden Pour Awards experience. Your entry ticket does not guarantee you a Golden Pour nomination or a G.P.A. Trophy.
Are tickets refundable?
Yes. Tickets are refundable up to 15 days before the event. Refund requests must be submitted through Eventbrite no later than September 25, 2026 at 11:59 PM CST. After that deadline, all ticket sales are final and non-refundable.
Will there be alcohol served?
Yes. This is a 21+ event. Valid ID is required.
How are nominees selected and how does voting work?
Nominees are chosen through community submissions, regional judge panels, and industry recognition. Winners are determined by a combination of public voting, judge evaluations, and overall impact within the epoxy industry, so the outcome stays fair, transparent, and true to the work.
Can brands or companies sponsor the event?
Yes. Sponsorship opportunities are available in limited quantities. Email The GPA Committee at thegoldenpourawards@gmail.com, or visit the sponsorship page.
Is there a dress code?
Yes. The Golden Pour Awards is a Black-Tie / Red Carpet formal event. Men: tuxedo or suit with dress shoes. Women: gown or cocktail dress and heels. Primary colors are black, gold, and red. The dress code is strictly enforced.
