29th Annual
Premiere Design Awards

The 2024 Premiere Design Awards competition and celebration marks the 29th Anniversary of the IIDA Mid-Atlantic Chapter Premiere, a program developed to recognize local design achievement and encourage new ideas in the design of interior spaces. IIDA MAC is dedicated to advancing the knowledge of interior design among professionals and expanding the awareness and appreciation of interior design among the general public. The Premiere Design Awards demonstrates to the public the availability of design excellence in local firms and has been a signature event since the founding of the Mid-Atlantic Chapter. Project entries are submitted by local design firms and are judged by a curated collection of Professional IIDA members from outside the Mid-Atlantic Region.
