The collision repair community is invited to gather for one of the industry's most anticipated annual celebrations, the Collision Industry Red Carpet Awards, taking place during the 2025 SEMA Show in Las Vegas on Nov. 4.

This year’s ceremony will be at a brand-new venue — Resorts World, Rose Ballroom — and continues the tradition of honoring excellence, leadership, and lasting contributions across the collision repair industry. The evening will follow the Collision Industry Conference, which runs from 8 a.m.-5 p.m. in the same location, with a CIC Reception beginning at 6 p.m., leading into the Red Carpet Awards program from 7:30–10 p.m.

From industry veterans to rising stars, the Red Carpet Awards spotlight outstanding individuals and organizations shaping the future of collision repair. Cocktail attire is encouraged, and seating is first-come, first-served — so attendees are encouraged to arrive as soon as the doors open and enjoy the full experience of this red-carpet affair.
The event remains free to attend, thanks to the generous support of participating industry organizations and sponsors including BodyShop Business, CIC, the Collision Repair Education Foundation, I-CAR, and the Society of Collision Repair Specialists

Honoring Legacy: The March Taylor Kina’ole Award

Each year, SCRS presents the March Taylor Kina’ole Award to an individual who exemplifies the Hawaiian principle of Kina’ole, which represents being "flawless" in the form of doing the right thing, in the right way, for the right reasons.

"This award is our way of honoring those who reflect the principles March Taylor lived by and instilled in many of us around the SCRS table," said SCRS Past Chairman Barry Dorn. "We have this opportunity to honor his legacy, and the light that he brought into our worlds, by seeing his reflection in other people who embody the same sense of purpose and leadership… people who prioritize doing the right things for their industry and the people around them, simply because it’s the right thing to do. It’s a privilege to continue this tradition and recognize someone who upholds those values."

Previous Kina’ole Award recipients include:
