Closets & Organized Storage magazine’s annual Top Shelf Design Awards launches on December 13 and will accept submissions until March 31. Enter your best designs for closets, home offices, garages, wine rooms, and specialty rooms using our 2025 entry form. 

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 on June 12 during the 20th anniversary of the Closets Conference & Expo, which takes place June 11-13 at the Palm Beach County Convention Center in West Palm Beach, Florida.

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 2025 Top Shelf Awards Best of Show prize of $500.

To enter the Top Shelf Design Awards, submit a detailed project design and construction description. Upload at least three high-resolution photos of the project (AI-generated images are not currently accepted) and include your registration fee per entry.
