September 3, 2026  by Karen Parrish in Business Strategy, Industry   

A committee of industry experts has evaluated and ranked hundreds of nominations to determine the list of finalists. The finalists will next submit materials for judging in the fall, by a separate panel of industry experts, and award recipients will be announced at the gala event held Friday, January 8, 2027, at the Hilton Anatole during the run of Total Home & Gift Market (Jan. 6-12) and Lightovation (Jan. 5-9).

The award recipients for the special categories of Academy of Achievement and the HEARTS Award will be announced in the coming weeks. Reservations for the ARTS Awards will open in early October.

"This year's finalists reflect the depth of talent our industry continues to produce," said Sharon Davis, executive director of ART. Added Cindy Morris, President and CEO of Dallas Market Center, “These finalists show the creativity and passion that make our design community so special, and we're proud to celebrate them in Dallas this January."
