Designers and color specialists, start your engines. Back for its fourth installment, the Benjamin Moore Hue Awards seeks to honor innovative use of color in residential and commercial design applications for 2008/2009. The paint giant will accept submissions from May 1 to October 9 of this year.
Benjamin Moore established the Hue Awards in 2005 in effort to recognize the creative incorporation of color through the use of paint, building materials, textiles, design elements, and furnishings. Open to seasoned design professionals or industry newbies, the competition will accept entries in the following categories: residential interiors, residential exteriors, contract interiors, contract exteriors, and social responsibility.
This year’s palette of judges features five professionals drawn from the design, fashion, and art worlds who, through years in their respective fields, have cultivated rich knowledge of color usage. The lineup includes Thomas R. Krizmanic, principal of Studios Architecture; Reed Kroloff, director of Cranbrook Academy of Art and Art Museum; Mayer Rus, design and culture editor of The Los Angeles Times Magazine; Essie Weingarten, founder of Essie Cosmetics, and Tim Wisgerhof, former creative director for Saks Fifth Avenue.
Winners will be honored at an awards ceremony in New York in March 2010, and will receive a $5,000 cash prize and original hand-blown HUEY crystal sculpture. Applications will be available at BenjaminMoore.com after April 1.
