The ARTS Awards process begins with the nomination of retailers, manufacturers, designers, and sales representatives. Nominations are received online through the end of June. After nominations are received, a nomination committee of industry peers evaluates the entries and determines finalists. A separate judging panel then convenes in the fall to review and score finalists’ materials. Neither membership in ART nor representation at Dallas Market Center is necessary to nominate or to be a nominee. Sponsors for the ARTS Awards include Aspire Design & Home; Furniture, Lighting & Décor; Business of Home; Home Accents Today; Décor News Now; Houstonia; Home Textiles Today; Designers Today; Furniture Today; Gifts & Decorative Accessories; Modern Luxury Interiors; Paper City; Interior Design Society, and Sustainable Furnishings Council.
