This fall, Interior Design magazine will introduce the first-ever annual Best of Year Awards, a two-fold competition that recognizes and celebrates the best projects of the year and honors distinction in product design.

Best of Year (B.o.Y) awards will pay tribute to the preeminent design projects among all sectors. Award recipients from each category – including office, healthcare and showroom – will be determined by a juried panel that includes Interior Design editor-in-chief Cindy Allen and distinguished luminaries in the interior design community.

Unlike most competitions, consideration will be offered to designers whose projects have previously won contests or been published.Elucidating on the process, Cindy Allen said, “The purpose of the B.o.Y awards is to gather the most innovative and outstanding work of the year.What better way to cap off a year of outstanding achievement in design than to celebrate it?”

Another component of the Best of YearAwards is the resurrection of the Roscoes, the coveted awards recognizing product design among all manufacturing categories, previously dispensed by the Resource Council more than ten years ago. Submissions for the Roscoes will be posted at interiordesign.net and awarded by design community peers by means of a ten-day online vote campaign beginning on October 17th.

The Best of Year Awards will culminate in New York with a glamorous event on the afternoon following the highly acclaimed Hall of Fame ceremony, to extend the celebration of the people, projects and products that defined interior design in 2006.
