Remodelista and Gardenista Commence Fifth Annual Considered Design Awards Contest

Remodelista.com and its sister website Gardenista.com announced they are accepting submissions for the fifth annual Considered Design Awards contest. The contest will feature the top home and garden design projects.

In conjunction with launching The Organized Home website earlier this year, Remodelista has added a new category for “Best Kitchen Organization Project.” The new category, which is looking for simple stylish storage ideas that create a purposeful and orderly kitchen space, is open to both amateurs and professionals. A panel of judges will pick the finalists in all categories, and the winners will be voted on by Remodelista and Gardenista’s readers.

“Every year the submissions from our readers who are DIYers as well as professionals seem to get better and better, pushing the boundaries beyond what we could ever expect,” says Julie Carlson, editor-in-chief of Remodelista. “Heading into our fifth year of the Considered Design Awards, we have decided to add a new category for ‘Best Kitchen Organization Project.’ We can’t wait to see what that brings to the table.”

Between now and 12 a.m. PDT on June 22, design enthusiasts and professionals in the U.S. and Canada (excluding Quebec) are encouraged to submit their own interior or outdoor design projects in categories that span the entire home and garden. To participate, readers can submit up to 10 photos per project and a description of their work.

After the submission period closes, five guest judges—Stephen Alesch, co-founder of Roman & Williams; Jenni Kayne, fashion designer and founder of Rip & Tan; Brook Klausing, landscape designer; Wiebke Liu, founder, Blisshaus; and Erica Tanov, textile designer and store owner—will select finalists for each category, detailed below.

The winners with the most votes will receive industry recognition, as well as a $500 gift card from Schoolhouse toward any of their products. Winners within the professional category will also receive automatic entry into the websites’ architect/designer directory of recommended professionals.
