DESIGN AWARD WINNERS

Entry Form

We understand that carpet was only one part of your complex project. We are looking for stories that describe how our products fit into the bigger picture. Judges will consider the overall design of the space, but the context is up to you. Categories of distinction will be identified by the judges based on how design is defined through the unique challenges, processes and results of the work.

Let us know how you redefined design through your project. To enter, please complete the form below. February 28, 2014 is your last opportunity for project submissions. There is no cost to enter.

    Project Visuals

     
    The visuals of your project should be representative of your design intent. Inclusion of a floorplan and exterior images is strongly recommended. Professional photography preferred. While Shaw Contract Group or Shaw Hospitality Group products must be used in the project to be eligible for the competition, all images do not need to feature these products.

    Please mail a CD of the high resolution digital project photography (jpeg preferred), your design statements, and floorplan to:
