by Rebecca Walker — August 14, 2009—The American Society of Interior Designers, the U.S. Green Building Council, and the Network of Executive Women in Hospitality are giving design professionals a chance to design a sustainable hotel suite that will be built on the show floor of Hospitality Design Expo, May 19 21, 2010 in Las Vegas.
In its first year, the Sustainable Suite Design Competition was created to recognize forward thinking, earth conscious design ideas that will help drive green practices within the hotel industry.
The winning design will be built as a model guest room to be presented as an educational display for the design industry, hotel owners and brands, and corporate travel executives. Additionally the winning team and design will be profiled in Hospitality Design, ASID ICON, and the NEWH Magazine. All entries are due August 31, 2009, and judging will be completed by October 1, 2009.
In addition to the Sustainable Suite Award that will be given to a team of up to five design professionals, a Student and Young Professional Award is open to emerging professionals.
