Spanning New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut, the NYCxDESIGN Awards spotlight both established leaders and emerging voices whose creativity reflects the energy, diversity, and influence of the region. This is your opportunity to have your products and projects recognized among the local designs shaping today’s global A&D industry.

The tri-state region has long been a proving ground for ambitious ideas, and the NYCxDESIGN Awards exist to honor the work that rises to that challenge. It’s a platform that spotlights visionary interiors and architecture to category-defining products, weaving together stories of ingenuity, passion, and local pride.

Winner Benefits

NYCxDESIGN Award winners are celebrated at an in-person ceremony hosted by Editor in Chief Cindy Allen, receive a custom award, and are featured in INTERIOR DESIGN magazine (projects only). All winners and honorees are showcased in a dedicated online gallery on interiordesign.net and nycxdesign.com, included in a categorized social announcement to INTERIOR DESIGN’s Facebook and LinkedIn audiences, and provided with official digital seals for marketing use. Select winners will also be spotlighted across INTERIOR DESIGN’s social channels throughout 2026, extending the recognition well beyond awards night and gaining year-long visibility across the industry.
