The Kitchen and Bath Business Designs of the Year Awards is now open and accepting entries.

The awards program is judged independently by our expert panel of designers, and winners will be honored in our September 2019 issue.

The signature Kitchen, Bath and Showroom of the Year winners will be awarded. Awards for Best Universal Design, Best Use of Color, Best Sustainable Design, Best Smart Design and Best Balanced Budget Design – with possible honorable mentions – are also considered.

Entries will be accepted until June 10, 2019, at 5:00 p.m. EST, and the competition fee is $125 per entry/project.

Criteria for projects include fulfilling client requirements, overcoming design challenges and incorporating innovative thinking. The competition fee will cover the regular categories (Kitchen, Bath or Showroom of the Year), and new this year: if you wish to enter for a specialty category or categories (i.e., Best Use of Color, Best Sustainable Design), you do not need to pay an additional entry fee.
