Carpet Design Awards Jury
The Carpet Design Awards are judged by an international jury composed of experts from the design and carpet industry. Who wins the Carpet Design Awards?
An international jury chaired by Jamie Metrick, Managing Director Elte, will select three carpets in eight categories from each of the submitted applications, which combine design, quality and craftsmanship to a particularly high degree.
The judging criteria are design and design concept, material, finish, structure and quality as well as sustainability and branding.
The jury will choose a shortlist of the three best carpets per category first and in a second step the winners per category will be choosen. The winning ceremony will take place during the next DOMOTEX at hall 2.
