The Monogram Iconic Kitchen Awards are inviting architects, interior designers, builders and remodelers to submit completed projects featuring Monogram appliances by Nov. 30. Twelve finalists will be recognized across four categories, with category winners receiving $25,000 and the finalists celebrated at industry events in February and April.
Monogram has opened submissions for its Iconic Kitchen Awards, inviting architects, interior designers, builders and remodelers to enter completed projects featuring Monogram appliances by Nov. 30. The competition will recognize 12 finalists across four categories, with one winner per category receiving $25,000 and media recognition.
The awards cover Contemporary Kitchen, Traditional Kitchen, Transitional Kitchen and Beyond the Kitchen. The final category includes related luxury spaces such as sculleries, wine rooms and entertaining areas. The program is aimed at professionals who have completed eligible projects, rather than designs that are only proposed or underway.
Entrants must provide floor plans or layout drawings, elevations or renderings, completed-project photography and a written design statement explaining the project’s vision, inspiration and distinctive qualities. Submissions also need details about the appliances used and other personal and project information, according to the award announcement.
An expert judging panel will assess entries on five stated criteria: the integration of Monogram products, design excellence, functionality and space planning, innovation and originality, and the impact of the design statement and imagery. The announcement says 12 finalists will be celebrated in February at the Kitchen & Bath Industry Show, with winners announced at an exclusive event during the High Point Market in April.
Each category winner will receive $25,000. First runners-up are set to receive $10,000 and second runners-up $5,000. All 12 finalists will be invited to the High Point Market event, with travel, accommodation and event access included, the announcement says.
Prizes and Industry Recognition
The awards offer designers a chance to place completed work before a panel focused on luxury residential design and to receive cash awards and editorial exposure. The announcement names ELLE Decor, House Beautiful and Veranda as publications that may feature recognized work, alongside the broader industry recognition attached to finalist and winner status.
For readers who hire design professionals, the contest also highlights the range of qualities the organizers say they value: not just a strong visual statement, but functionality, space planning and original thinking. The criteria frame a successful kitchen as a working space as well as a design project. The competition’s appliance requirement, however, means it is not an open call for all kitchen projects; entries must feature Monogram products.

Four Categories, One Competition
The awards are presented as a program to recognize luxury kitchen and related-room design. Their four categories distinguish among different design approaches and spaces: contemporary projects emphasize clean lines and minimalism; traditional entries focus on classic detail and craftsmanship; transitional designs balance traditional and contemporary elements; and Beyond the Kitchen covers adjacent spaces used for preparation, storage or entertaining.
Monogram executive director Julie Burns said the program reflects the view that a kitchen is both a functional room and a personal expression of how people live. She described the awards as a way to celebrate designers who combine livability with visual appeal. The source announcement does not provide information on prior winners, the number of expected entries or the judging panel’s membership.
“The kitchen is both a functional space and a deeply personal expression of how people live.”
