The Shaw Contract Group Design Is… Award recognizes inspirational and visionary design across the commercial interiors landscape. After evaluating more than 300 projects that were submitted for this year’s program, a judging panel of design experts narrowed down the field, deciding on the final 16 projects. Each of these world class projects are profiled on Shaw Contract Group’s new website and users can vote for their favorite to receive the People’s Choice Award. Voting is open to all visitors to the site and will remain live through June 30. All Design Is… Award winners, including the People’s Choice, will be announced on August 7, 2009.
