New York, NY (January 10, 2018) Hospitality Design magazine (HD) is now accepting project and product submissions for its 14th annual HD Awards, the industry’s premier awards competition recognizing innovation in hospitality design. The HD Awards celebrate the best in project and product design in the past year by honoring the owners, designers, architects, and manufacturers behind the impressive, bar-raising creations.

The HD Project Awards has increased its categories to 23, to better represent the industry, including a new Restorations category, an expanded Wellness category, and separate Upscale and Luxury Hotel categories. Also new for 2018, HD is introducing its inaugural Nightlife Awards, spanning 10 categories, to offer a more comprehensive look at bars and nightclubs.
