The James Beard Foundation is calling for entries for its 2016 Restaurant Design Awards. The Restaurant Design Awards were established by the James Beard Foundation in 1994 and have become highly coveted by hospitality designers nationwide. Any restaurant project that was completed or redone in North America since January 2013 is eligible.
"The JBF Restaurant Design Awards are truly the Oscars of restaurant design," commented design committee chair James Biber. "There is no better place to receive your winning award than in front of the largest gathering of the most important restaurateurs, chefs and food experts in America. The esteemed jury, the spectacular Gala, the honor role of previous winners and the importance of the James Beard Foundation in the American food landscape make this the award program to enter."
The Restaurant Design Awards are comprised of two categories: Restaurants of 76 seats and over, and Restaurants of 75 seats and under.
The deadline for entries is January 29, 2016.
