Design Ovation Awards

The ASID Design Ovation Awards dinner was at Victory Tavern last night, a really cool place for a cool event. I chatted with 1st place award winner Sherry Hayslip for a bit, and she explained to me just how incognito these awards really are chosen. Photographs are submitted to a committee that then choses an undisclosed ASID chapter to judge them, there are no names or identification. This year it was Orange County, last year North Carolina, so the entrants don’t even know where the photos are going. Pretty amazing, and the entrys were extraordinary. Among the happy winners were Kathy Adcock-Smith, Mary Ann Smiley, Lynn Sears, Marilyn Rolnick, Richard Trimble, and Stephanie Moore.
