WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Finalists for the 2025 Top Shelf Design Awards competition have been selected from a competitive field of 91 entries. Sponsored by Rev-A-Shelf, these annual awards celebrate designers' ingenuity and skill in creating closet and home organizational solutions.
Winners will be revealed during an awards reception on June 12, 2025, at the Palm Beach Convention Center in West Palm Beach, Florida. The coveted Best of Show award, granted to the project achieving the highest score from the judges, comes with a $500 prize. Category winners will each be awarded $50. Additionally, all recognized projects will receive an awards plaque and be featured in Closets & Organized Storage magazine and its social media channels.
Each entry was evaluated based on two key criteria: 50 percent for appearance and design, with a strong emphasis on creativity, and 50 percent for functionality and the quality of construction and materials used.
Special thanks go to the panel of judges: Lauren Schwartz of Meridian Closets, Matt Buell from M Buell Studio, Natasha Shtapauk of The BauTeam, and Eric Marshall from the Closet Training Institute.
