The Top Shelf Design Awards are an annual celebration of designers who create innovative closet and home organizational designs. Each entry is evaluated on two factors: 50 percent of the score is based on appearance and design creativity, while the other 50 percent is based on functionality and the quality of materials and construction. 

 

Winners will be recognized at a reception sponsored by Sauder Closets on April 18 during the 2024 Closets Conference & Expo, which takes place April 17-19 at the Schaumburg Convention Center in Schaumburg, Illinois. #YoungWoodPro, sponsored by Grizzly Inc., winners will also be announced during the reception. Winning projects will be showcased in Closets & Organized Storage and its weekly newsletter. Each category winner will receive an award plaque plus a $50 gift card and will be eligible for the 2024 Top Shelf Awards Best of Show prize of $500.
