Shaw Contract Group is now receiving submissions for its Design Is…Award, which honors architects and interior designers that continue to redefine what design is. Design firms may enter their projects here through February 28th.
The Shaw Contract Group Design Is…Award asks entrants to define design through the challenges, process, and results of their projects. All design projects using Shaw Contract Group, Shaw Hospitality Group, and Shaw Hard Surface products, completed between February 2012 and February 2014, are eligible.
Distinguished members of the design community will judge entries across all market segments. This year’s program will continue with market awards, of which the winners represent the highest caliber within an industry segment. The market award winners will move on to the global award program and People’s Choice voting later in the year.
“The Design Is… Award continues to champion design excellence across market segments and around the world,” says John Stephens, vice president of marketing for Shaw Contract Group. “We honor these projects that achieve both human and business goals in ways that represent the best practices in global design.”
The company will promote global winners through marketing materials, media outreach, and an advertisement campaign in leading A&D publications. In addition, winning firms will receive $2,000 to donate to the school or organization of their choice.
Since 2006, Shaw Contract Group had donated over $80,000 through the Design Is…Award to support design education and social responsibility. In the last eight years, more than 1,700 entries have been submitted from 31 countries around the world.
