American Window Tinters Are Coming to Canada: Compete at the 2027 Canadian Tint Expo in Niagara Falls
The border isn't stopping the competition.
On April 3rd & 4th, 2027, window tinters, automotive wrappers, flat-glass installers, shop owners, manufacturers, distributors and industry professionals will come together in Niagara Falls, Ontario for one of Canada's biggest tint industry events — and American competitors are invited.
The Canadian Tint, Wrap & Detail Expo at the Niagara Falls Convention Centre isn't just for Canadians.
We want talented installers from across the United States to make the trip north, represent their shops, showcase their skills and compete alongside some of the best installers in the industry.
Competition registration is now open.
American installers can register for our Great Canadian Tint Competition, Flat Glass Championships and Wrap Battle, with the event also featuring the highly anticipated Canada vs USA Cross Border Clash.
If you're a professional installer in New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, South Carolina, Florida, Texas—or anywhere else in the United States—here's why Niagara Falls should be on your 2027 calendar.
🇺🇸 American Competitors Are Welcome in Niagara Falls
One of the biggest goals behind creating this expo was to bring the Canadian and American industries closer together.
Tint Academy travels throughout both Canada and the United States training installers. We've seen firsthand how much talent exists on both sides of the border.
Now we're creating a stage where that talent can come together.
This isn't about watching from the sidelines.
Come to Canada and compete.
Whether your specialty is automotive window tinting, architectural flat glass or vehicle wrapping, there is an opportunity to demonstrate what you can do in front of installers, brands, distributors and other industry professionals.
🏆 Great Canadian Tint Competition
Think you're one of the best window tinters in your shop, city or state?
Now it's time to put those skills to the test.
The Great Canadian Tint Competition brings installers together in a live competition environment where professional tinting skills will be put on display.
For American tinters, this is an opportunity to cross the border and compete against installers you might otherwise only know through Instagram, YouTube or industry groups.
You aren't just coming to Niagara Falls to install film.
You're coming to represent your business, your city and the American tint community on an international stage.
🏢 Flat Glass Championships
Automotive tinting isn't the only skill being showcased.
Our Flat Glass Championships give architectural and flat-glass film installers their own competition.
Residential and commercial window-film installation requires a different set of skills, techniques and attention to detail.
If you're an American architectural film installer who works with residential window film, commercial film, decorative film, solar-control film or safety and security film, this is your opportunity to demonstrate those skills in Canada.
Flat Glass Championships are scheduled for April 3rd at 11:00 AM.
🚘 Wrap Battle
Vehicle wrappers are joining the action too.
The Wrap Battle will bring talented installers together to demonstrate the precision, technique and speed involved in professional automotive wrapping.
The wrap industry has exploded across North America, and we want wrapping to be a major part of the expo.
If your shop specializes in colour-change wraps, commercial graphics, custom vehicles or related automotive restyling services, make the trip to Niagara Falls and put your installation skills in front of the industry.
The Wrap Battle is scheduled for April 3rd at 1:00 PM.
🇨🇦 VS 🇺🇸 The Cross Border Clash
Then Canada and the USA meet.
The Cross Border Clash is designed to bring the rivalry between Canadian and American installers directly onto the competition floor.
Canada vs USA.
Top talent. One stage. Niagara Falls.
The Cross Border Clash is scheduled for April 4th at 3:30 PM, following the Great Canadian Tint Competition finals.
It's about competition, but it's also about bringing the industry together.
American and Canadian installers regularly follow each other online, use many of the same products, learn from each other's techniques and work with many of the same manufacturers.
Now they'll have the opportunity to meet and compete in person.
Why American Tinters Should Make the Trip to Niagara Falls
There are plenty of industry events where you can walk around, look at products and go home.
We want this weekend to be different.
The Canadian Tint Expo is being built around four major ideas:
COMPETE. LEARN. NETWORK. GROW.
Compete against installers from another country.
Learn new techniques, products and technologies.
Network with installers, manufacturers, distributors and business owners.
Grow your reputation, relationships and business.
For competitors especially, this is an opportunity to get outside your local market and put yourself in front of an entirely new audience.
You might arrive representing your shop in the United States and leave with new industry relationships across Canada.
Niagara Falls Makes This an International Destination Event
There's another reason we're holding the event here.
Niagara Falls.
Instead of putting the expo in an ordinary convention destination, we're bringing the industry to one of North America's most recognizable destinations.
The event will be held at the Niagara Falls Convention Centre, putting competitors and attendees close to the Falls, hotels, restaurants, attractions and entertainment.
For American competitors—especially those travelling from New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio and surrounding states—Niagara Falls creates the opportunity to combine an industry weekend with a destination experience.
Come compete.
Bring your team.
Bring your family.
Meet the industry.
Then experience Niagara Falls.
Meet Brands, Vendors and Other Installers
The competitions are only one part of the weekend.
The expo floor is being built to bring together window film, PPF, wrap and detailing brands, manufacturers, distributors, suppliers, installers and shop owners.
For an American installer, that means your weekend isn't over when your competition round finishes.
Walk the expo.
Discover products.
Meet suppliers.
Talk with other shop owners.
Build relationships with Canadian installers.
Connect with people you've followed online.
The relationships created at events like this can continue long after everyone goes home.
Get Your Shop and Name in Front of the Industry
Competition gives installers another opportunity that can be difficult to create through everyday shop work:
Exposure.
Your customers normally see your finished work.
At an installation competition, the industry gets to see the installer behind that work.
That can help competitors introduce themselves and their businesses to other installers, brands and industry professionals who may never have discovered them otherwise.
You don't need to own the biggest shop in America.
You don't need hundreds of thousands of followers.
If you believe in your installation skills, come show them.
Already Competing in the USA? Take It International.
If you've competed at tint or wrap events in the United States before, Niagara Falls gives you an opportunity to do something different.
Cross the border and compete in Canada.
Represent your shop.
Represent your state.
Meet Canadian competitors.
Challenge yourself in a different environment.
And become part of the first years of an event we're building to connect the North American tint, wrap, PPF and detailing industries.
American Brands Can Get Involved Too
You don't have to be an installer to participate.
Registration is also open for vendors, exhibitors, booths and sponsorship opportunities.
If you're an American manufacturer, distributor, software company, tool company or supplier looking to increase your presence in the Canadian market, the Canadian Tint Expo provides an opportunity to get directly in front of Canadian installers and shop owners.
Instead of trying to reach the Canadian market entirely online, come meet it in person.
VIP Experience in Niagara Falls
American attendees can also upgrade their weekend with a VIP experience, including exclusive event gear, access to the VIP & Vendor Dinner overlooking Niagara Falls, a roll of Scorpion Window Film and additional VIP benefits.
That means you can turn your trip into more than a competition.
Make it a complete industry weekend.
