NKBA Ontario Chapters 2019 Design Competition Awards Gala
Each year, the National Kitchen & Bath Association (NKBA) Ontario Chapter reveals the winners of their Annual Design Competition. This year, their 16th Annual Design Awards Gala took place at Paramount EventSpace in Woodbridge on February 9th. The inspiration for this year’s gala was the vibrant colors of the Peacock.
Over thirty five winners from across ten main kitchen and bath categories and six specialty categories including the prestigious Pinnacle Award and the People’s Choice Award were honored and recognized for their creativity and design excellence at the gala event.
This was the first year that designers were able to submit their designs online and it was a great success! Entries to the annual competition were judged by a panel of NKBA certified designers (CMKBD, CKD, CBD) and industry experts. All qualifying projects were scored on various criteria, including NKBA guidelines, safety and ergonomics, elements and principles of design, design planning, creativity and presentation.
This year’s Pinnacle Award winner was Rose Barroso of Barroso Homes.
This prestigious award is selected from all first place winning designs and
represents the best of all entries.
The People’s Choice Award is given to the winner of a contest run by Homes Publishing Group of all of the award winning designs in the competition. The kitchens are voted on by industry peers as well as the general public.
Congratulations to all of the 2019 NKBA Ontario Chapter Design Competition
winners!
