The Kitchen Cabinet Manufacturers Association (KCMA) has announced a new KCMA Design Awards program for 2024 and is inviting kitchen and bath professionals to submit their best kitchen design projects featuring KCMA Member cabinets. The program is intended to recognize outstanding kitchen designs by kitchen designers, architects, and interior designers practicing in the United States. Entries may be submitted through March 15, 2024.

“We’re very excited about the launch of the new KCMA Design Awards program,” said KCMA CEO Betsy Natz. “Beyond recognizing outstanding kitchen designs, the overarching goal of the program is to promote public interest in cabinet design excellence. The competition will focus on the quality of the cabinet environments within kitchens, while promoting the important role kitchen & bath professionals play in the process.”

“This competition is a great opportunity for kitchen and bath design firms to showcase their best designs, gain recognition among their peers, and build exposure for their work and firm,” continued Natz. “But it’s not all about winning – it’s also a way spark community engagement by shining a spotlight on innovation, quality, and originality.”

Judging will take place March 15 through April 1, 2024. For the 2024 inaugural program, designers may submit eligible projects completed during calendar years 2021, 2022, and 2023. After judging is finalized, one (1) First Award for Best Kitchen Design will be named with the winner receiving a trip to the 2024 KCMA Spring Leadership Conference to receive their award which includes airfare, accommodations, and a $1,000 stipend for expenses. The First Award winner will also be featured in a full-page advertisement in Kitchen & Bath Design News and recognized on the Woodworking Network and KCMA websites. One (1) Second Award for 2nd Best Kitchen design will also receive a $500 cash award.
