Nominations now open for 31st annual ARTS Awards

Dallas Market Center and ART, the creative home furnishings network, shared nominations are officially open for the 31st Annual ARTS Awards.

The ARTS Awards, presented each January in concurrence with Dallas Total Home & Gift Market, is an international awards program dedicated to home industry excellence and achievement in retailing, manufacturing, design and sales representation.

“For three decades, the ARTS Awards has recognized the innovation and vision of countless industry leaders,” says Cindy Morris, President and CEO of Dallas Market Center. “We welcome all nominations to create a strong list of inspiring finalists for 2020’s 31st Annual ARTS Awards.”

“We look forward to receiving all the nominations for the 31st Annual ARTS Awards and can’t wait to celebrate the accomplishments of the home industry finalists,” says Sharon Davis, Executive Director of ART.

Nominations may be submitted online at dallasmarketcenter.com now through June 26, 2019. A committee of industry peers will evaluate the entries and determine finalists. A separate judging panel will then convene in Dallas in the fall to review and score finalists’ materials. Winners will be announced during a gala event on Friday, January 10, 2020.

Neither membership in ART nor representation at Dallas Market Center is necessary to nominate or to be a nominee.

Nominations are being accepted in the following ARTS Awards categories:

  • Manufacturer Awards
  • Retailer
  • Sales Representative
  • Designer (Interior and Product)
  • Academy of Achievement
