Bentley Mills, Crossville, Johnsonite and Floor Focus sponsored the contest. All product and firm names are stripped from the entries prior to judging so that the jurors vote strictly based on the merit of the design. Floor Focus applauds these sponsors in their support of the concept of blind judging, ensuring that the contest awards and celebrates design for design’s sake.
Entries for next year’s awards will be accepted beginning January 2018.
