2009 Design Competition and Website Virtual Tour EntriesWill be featured on our Website, published in SDH/G Lifestyles magazine, and recognized at a special Joint Chapters Awards Ceremony Gala this coming September. A major part of marketing our chapter and our members this year will be our 2009 Design Competition, the winners of which will be announced with a special layout in the September issue of San Diego Home/Garden Lifestyles. We will have a full-page ad in that issue announcing our newly updated Website Virtual Tour, to highlight National Kitchen & Bath Month in the coming October issue. SDH/G’s October publication will also feature some of the design winners, with editorial content pointing to our Virtual Tour. In this October issue, we plan to have a Chapter Directory, which will also present the opportunity for special advertising to our membership. CATEGORIES The Competition is divided into the following six categories:
On the entry form, please select the category that best represents your project. The Chapter reserves the right to reassign a category, if appropriate. Each project may be entered into only one category. ENTRY REQUIREMENTS AND SUBMISSION CHECKLIST The Designer of Record on all projects must be an NKBA member and all projects entered must be the work of NKBA members. Projects may not have been previously published in a major national consumer publication. All materials must be received by Tuesday May 26, at 11am Your digital photographs (please limit to 6-12 photos), plus floor plan, interpretive drawings, and design statement, may be emailed to Deb Wand, AKBD, Website Chairperson, deb_wand@yahoo.com. If you are unable to email these materials, you may alternatively mail or deliver a CD of your photographs along with your Virtual Tour CD, and printed hardcopies of the plans, drawings and design statement to Borrelli Cabinetry + Design at 4421 Park Blvd, San Diego 92116. The Board will require the original signed Completed Entry Form and signed Photo Release Form, along with your entry fee check or Acteva receipt, which should also be delivered or mailed to Borrelli Cabinetry + Design. To avoid disqualification, please include the following materials with your Submittal. Your name should only appear on the completed Entry Form and Entry Fee (check or Acteva receipt). Please use your NKBA Identification Number to identify all other materials, so that your anonymity is preserved through the judging process.
JUDGING A well-designed space requires many elements to make it a classic. An award-winning project must provide both great creativity and stunning presentation that captivates the viewer, transforming an ordinary space into a memorable visual experience. The SoCal Chapter of NKBA will be judging our submittals based on five core elements: Safety and ergonomics (with reference to the NKBA Kitchen & Bathroom Planning Guidelines), elements and principles of design, design planning, creativity, and presentation. Contest winners will be recognized in the September issue of San Diego Home/Garden Lifestyles plus receive premiere placement featuring their project on the Chapter Website – an advantage in highlighting work to potential clients. Contest winners will also receive a second complimentary Virtual Tour Advertising Spot (value $175) on our Website as it becomes updated with contest entries, plus paid admittance for two to the September Joint Chapters Awards Ceremony Gala in San Juan Capistrano. Join in the fun and share your work – you, too, can be a STAR! With best wishes, Designing a Kitchen or BathThe kitchen & bath are the most essential rooms in a home. These spaces should be comfortable, safe and inviting while reflecting individual lifestyles and personalities. Explore our Virtual Tours for a close-up look at the unique and diversified design talents of San Diego NKBA designers to help you choose the professional right for your personal project!
