How to WIN the AFA Fence Pro Awards | Tips from a 15-Time Award Winner | Jesus Nieto

Fence fam — in this episode of Fence Guy Friday Podcast, I’m joined by Jesus Nieto, a multi-year AFA Fence Pro Awards winner and longtime industry leader. We break down exactly what the Pro Awards are, how to submit, what makes a project stand out, and why these awards can be a game-changer for your fence company.


Jesus has been in the industry for 38 years and his team once won 15 out of 18 awards in a single year — so if you’ve ever wondered how these awards work or if you should enter, this is the episode you need.


We also talk about:

✅ What judges are really looking for

✅ How Pro Awards help marketing & credibility

✅ Special Interest Groups (SIGs) like Hispanic Fence Professionals

✅ FenceTech education growth + Spanish sessions

✅ Why networking in AFA matters more than people think


🚨 Pro Awards submission deadline: December 15

Get your projects in before the clock runs out!
