Don’t just wait for the list of finalists to be announced; be a part of the process. Make your voice count by nominating a business that you believe deserves this recognition.

Dallas Market Center (DMC) and ART, the creative home furnishings network, have announced that nominations are officially open for the 37^th ARTS Awards, the premier international awards program dedicated to the home industry excellence and achievement.

“Nominations for the ARTS Awards are open to all,” said Cindy Morris, president and CEO of DMC. “They recognize the companies, designers, and sales representatives whose innovation and leadership continue to shape the industry,” added Sharon Davis, executive director of ART. “We invite the community to join us in celebrating excellence across home furnishings.”

How to participate

The ARTS Awards process begins with the nomination of retailers, manufacturers, designers, and sales representatives from anyone in the industry. Nominations are received online through June 25 here.

Once nominations are received, a committee of industry peers will thoroughly evaluate the entries and select the finalists. The submission process for finalists has been streamlined to include a new digital platform which makes submissions faster and more user-friendly, while maintaining the rigorous evaluation criteria that define the ARTS Awards.

In the fall, a separate judging panel will convene to assess the entries submitted by the finalists. The winners will be announced during the ARTS Award gala on Friday, January 8, 2027.
