An extraordinary kitchen is defined by refined materials, exquisite details, and design that balances ease with sophistication. These spaces do more than serve a purpose; they elevate how we live. For designers who share this philosophy, the prestigious Monogram Iconic Kitchen Awards are built to recognize your vision.

Now through November 30, architects, interior designers, builders, and remodelers can submit their completed projects featuring Monogram appliances for the honor of industry recognition, features in ELLE Decor, House Beautiful, and Veranda, and cash prizes of up to $25,000.

“The Monogram Iconic Kitchen Awards are rooted in our belief that the kitchen is both a functional space and a deeply personal expression of how people live,” says Julie Burns, executive director of Monogram. “Through this program, we’re proud to celebrate the designers who push the boundaries of luxury kitchen design while creating spaces that are as livable as they are beautiful.”

The awards will recognize 12 finalists in four categories, with one winner in each. Categories include:

  • Contemporary Kitchen: Sleek, sophisticated spaces defined by clean lines, minimalism, and a modern approach to design.
  • Traditional Kitchen: Timeless, classic, and enduring its embrace of rich details and craftsmanship.
  • Transitional Kitchen: Thoughtful and considered kitchens with an artful balance of traditional and contemporary elements.
  • Beyond the Kitchen: Projects extending luxury design into spaces such as sculleries, wine rooms, or entertaining areas.

Burns notes that the Monogram Iconic Kitchen Design Awards identify work that “continues to raise the bar for luxury living while inspiring the future of kitchen design.” An esteemed panel of judges with a discerning eye for luxury design will evaluate the submissions based on five key elements: the thoughtful integration of Monogram in the design, design excellence, functionality and space planning, innovation, and originality, as well as the impact of the design statement and imagery.

Twelve finalists will be celebrated in February at the Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS) and winners will be announced during an exclusive celebration at the High Point Market in April. Each category winner will receive $25,000 and media recognition; first runner-ups will win $10,000, and second runner-ups $5,000. All 12 finalists will be invited to attend the High Point Market celebration, including travel, accommodations, and event access.

Entrants are required to submit floor plans or layout drawings, elevation or renderings, completed project photography, and a written design statement describing the project’s vision, inspiration, and what makes it iconic, along with details on the appliances used in the space and other personal and project information.

What makes a kitchen iconic? Exceptional design is more than what you see; it’s how a space makes you feel. An iconic kitchen represents the perfect harmony of aesthetic beauty and quiet purpose, crafted to leave a lasting impression.
