Floor Focus applauds these sponsors in their support of the concept of blind judging, ensuring that the contest awards and celebrates design for design’s sake.

Judges for this year’s contest were Shashi Caan of the Shashi Caan Collective; Lisa Pinyan of LS3P Associates; and Margo Jones of M. Jones Associates.
