The 2015 Closets Top Shelf Design Awards contest is well underway, running until March 13. Do you have an award-winning project? All winners will be recognized during the 2015 Cabinets & Closets Expo taking place in Chicago, IL, April 14-16.

In a change from previous years, the Gala Awards Reception will take place April 15 on the opening day of the Expo, giving a broader range of show attendees the opportunity to see the work of some of the country’s top designers.

Hosting the awards ceremony this year is Chicago furniture designer Brian Keith Ellison, a contestant on Spike TV’s Framework reality furniture show.

Returning Top Shelf judges are Denise Butchko, Butchko & Co., Chicago, IL; Angelia York, St. Louis Co., Maplewood, MO; and Joyce Hardison, Closet Crafters, Ventura, CA.

Top Shelf Design awards are given annually to honor home storage designers for their creative closet and home organizational designs.
