Winning NKBA’s Design Competition is not just a great honor and a wonderful form of recognition for all of your hard work – it brings publicity, fabulous exposure for your firm, and even cash!
Leslie Lamarre, CKD, CID, CGBP, knows all of this very well, as she and her staff have brought home numerous NKBA Design Awards over the past four years, including honors at the National level and most recently Judges’ Choice for her First Place Large Bathroom in the 2012 NKBA Northern California Design Competition.
What does it take to win? As Leslie will show you, having a killer project is only part of the answer. You also have to know how to present it to the judges. Through trial and error, Leslie has gotten a pretty firm handle on what they want. And now she is willing to share it all with you! Come hear the secrets to winning and give your projects a leg up on the design competition.
