Many of you have contacted us to request an extension to
submit award nominations, so are pleased to announce that the final day
for submitting award nominations has been extended to Monday, July 31.
Everyone wants to be appreciated and recognized for their contributions, but few of us take the time to say thank you to our exceptional peers for what they do for our companies, our organization and our industry. We want to change this trend by encouraging you to submit applications and nominations to the 2017 DPHA Awards program. To repeat, the deadline to submit applications and nominations for the honors listed below is now July 31.

- Mary Jo Peterson, Mary Jo Peterson Design
- Stacy Shoemaker, Editor Hospitality Design
- Eliot Sefrin, Editor Emeritus of KBDN
- Lindsay Crozier, Architect at Made LLC

Last year the Awards Committee added the Dealer's Choice
Award, an award that provides another opportunity for manufacturers
and representatives to promote products in front of the staffs of
every DPHA dealer. The Dealer's Choice Award works as follows:
- Every product submitted for the 2017 Product of the Year (POTYs) will be eligible to win the Dealer's Choice Award.
- Voting will take place immediately following the annual conference and will be open for approximately six weeks.
- All dealer showroom staff members who have a DPHA login will be eligible to vote. One vote per person.
- The winner will be announced during the opening session of the 2018 Conference.
Manufacturers
- when was the last time you were handed a golden opportunity to have
your new products analyzed and critiqued by leading journalists of
publications that are read and respected by your clients and prospects?
DPHA is providing you this opportunity. Be sure to take advantage of
it.
