The Kentucky design community gathered together on November 2nd at the Waterfront Botanical Gardens to celebrate great design. This year's Design Awards had 20 professional submissions, 10 creative installation submissions, and 5 student submissions from 3 universities.
We are proud of the talent our design community has to offer but also proud and extremely grateful for the support we receive from our partners, consultants, manufacturers, dealers, contractors, and the entire team it takes to make these projects happen.
Again, congratulations to our winners -
