As the sole national shelter publication sponsor for the 31st annual ARTS Awards, ASPIRE DESIGN AND HOME is thrilled to share this year’s talented nominees. Presented each January during the Dallas Total Home & Gift Market, this ceremony is the premier awards program in the U.S. honoring top manufacturers, retailers, designers, and sales representatives in the home industry.
“Congratulations to all of the 31st Annual ARTS Awards finalists,” says Cindy Morris, President and CEO of Dallas Market Center. “These carefully selected finalists represent the utmost creativity, originality and craftsmanship, and we applaud their dedication to our industry. We look forward to celebrating their accomplishments in January.”
The finalists will each submit a creative digital presentation to a panel of independent judges. Digital submissions vary based upon category and may consist of product development, marketing, merchandising, company differentiation examples, or professional information.
