Cintas Corporation Opens Nominations For 12th Annual Custodian Of The Year Contest

Cintas Corporation has launched its 12^th annual Cintas Custodian of the Year contest, which honors exceptional school custodians. From now through February 7, the public can submit their custodian nominations at custodianoftheyear.com.

“Beyond cleaning and maintenance, school custodians often make our schools and universities feel like home,” Cintas Director of Marketing Emily Ramos said. “For more than a decade, we’ve been inspired by countless incredible stories of custodians going above and beyond, and we’re thrilled to continue honoring them as we celebrate the 12^th year of this contest.”

Cintas will award $10,000 to the winning custodian and $5,000 in Cintas and Rubbermaid products and services to the winner’s school. The winner’s school will also receive a complete facility assessment and Cleaning Industry Management Standard (CIMS) Advanced certification by GBAC from ISSA valued at $20,000. The other nine finalists will receive $1,000 each from Cintas, a cleaning supply package from Rubbermaid and complimentary tuition to one ISSA Cleaning Management Institute (CMI) virtual training event valued at $1,500.

The top three finalists will also receive an all-expense-paid trip for two to the ISSA Show North America in Las Vegas in November, where they’ll be celebrated for their accomplishments.

The Cintas Custodian of the Year contest is open to all elementary, middle, high school, college and university custodians who have worked at their school for at least two years. Nominations must be 500 words or less on why the nominee deserves the award and must be submitted by February 7. Cintas will announce the top ten finalists on March 4. The public will then be able to vote for their favorite custodian through April 11, and the finalist with the most votes will be crowned Custodian of the Year in the spring.
