Closets & Organized Storage magazine’s annual Top Shelf Design Awards, sponsored by Rev-A-Shelf, is now accepting submissions until March 27 April 10 (deadline extended). Enter your best designs for closets, home offices, garages, wine rooms, and specialty rooms using our 2026 entry form. 

The Top Shelf Design Awards are an annual celebration of designers who create innovative closet and home organizational designs. The coveted prize not only rewards incredible designs but also allows designers to boost their name recognition.

"Being nationally recognized has been a game-changer for my brand," said Kathleen Jacobson, owner The Couture Closet in Dallas, Texas, and winner of 17 Top Shelf Design Awards. "It’s elevated my credibility as a designer and helped attract discerning clients who want award-winning luxury. I proudly promote these honors on my website, social media, and in local and national press. It’s become an integral part of how I position The Couture Closet."

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 July 1 during the Closets Conference & Expo, which takes place June 30 - July 2, 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 2026 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.
