2010 CALL FOR ENTRIES

The 19th Annual Inform Awards

A program to recognize and encourage outstanding LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE, INTERIOR DESIGN, and OBJECT DESIGN

Eligibility

The program is open to anyone in Inform Magazine’s primary circulation area—architects, interior designers, landscape architects, furniture designers, industrial designers, students, and faculty. Your business address must be located in Virginia, Maryland, West Virginia, Washington, D.C., or North Carolina. All work submitted must have been completed after January 1, 2005.

AWARDS

15 submissions were recognized by a New Orleans jury in the 19th annual Inform Awards, sponsored by Inform: Architecture and Design in the Mid-Atlantic, on February 22, 2010. Judith Kinnard, FAIA Assistant Professor of Architecture at Tulane University joined jurors Steve Dumez, FAIA of Eskew+Dumez+Ripple and Wayne Troyer, AIA of Wayne Troyer Architects in the judging of a highly competitive field of entries.

185 entries in interior design, landscape architecture, and object design from architects, interior designers, landscape architects, furniture designers, industrial designers, students, and faculty were evaluated according to four questions: Is it an innovative solution to site or program? Does it demonstrate a high level of evident craftsmanship? Does it demonstrate a high level of conceptual rigor? Is it a unique intervention?

“This was such a good batch of projects,” said jury chair Judith Kinnard, “and the region was represented well—a fact that made our decision making process very difficult.”

Open to anyone in Inform Magazine’s primary circulation area (Va., Md., D.C., W.V., N.C.), the program recognizes design excellence in the mid-Atlantic region through Awards of Honor and Awards of MeritThe following award winners will appear in the May/June issue of Inform:
