The awards honor home industry excellence and achievement in retailing, manufacturing, design and sales representation. Prominent members of the international home industry gather in Dallas each year to celebrate the top leaders and innovators in the industry.

“For three decades, the ARTS Awards has recognized the innovation and vision of countless industry leaders,” says Cindy Morris, president and CEO of Dallas Market Center. “We welcome all nominations to create a strong list of inspiring finalists for 2020’s 31st Annual ARTS Awards.”

“We look forward to receiving all the nominations for the 31st Annual ARTS Awards and can’t wait to celebrate the accomplishments of the home industry finalists,” said Sharon Davis, executive director of ART.

After nominations are received, a committee of industry peers will evaluate the entries and determine finalists. A separate judging panel will then convene in Dallas in the fall to review and score finalists’ materials. Winners will be announced during a gala event on Friday, January 10, 2020.
