Winning projects designed by some of most distinguished System Integrators will be selected from the following categories for this year's Design Awards: Best Residential System, Best Commercial System, Most Unique System - residential or commercial - and Best Overall System.
Winners will be selected by the D-Tools product team and D-Tools certified partners. The winning entries will be judged on a number of criteria, including originality, most thorough use of D-Tools' software functionality, overall visual quality of designs, plans, and schematics; and which projects best communicate the system designer's vision.
Winners in each category will receive an attractive award for display in their office and a copy of D-Tools System Integrator 5 Pro - a $4,499 value - as well as significant prizes supplied by D-Tools Manufacturer Vantage Point (MVP) members. All entrants will receive recognition for their submissions with a D-Tools t-shirt and a subscription to the digital edition of Custom Retailer magazine.
"We are extremely excited to announce the seventh annual Design Awards in conjunction with our first ever online D-Tools University," said Adam Stone, president and CEO of D-Tools. "Every year the competition for the Design Awards heats up and the level of talent seems to rise every year. We're proud that our software can help these outstanding integrators bring their visual ideas to life for their clients." D-Tools customers can submit their entries by visiting www.d-tools.com .
