NKBA announced the eight winners of the 2009/2010 NKBA Student Design Competition, which offers $10,000 in scholarships.
Sponsored by Sub-Zero and Wolf, as well as Waypoint Living Spaces, a division and trademark of American Woodmark Corporation, the 2009/2010 NKBA Student Design Competition challenged young student designers at NKBA-accredited colleges to remodel a 1910 Arts & Crafts ‘Shingle House’ located in the Pacific Northwest. Students were required to create safe and functional spaces with modern conveniences. The students had to maintain the historic ambiance of the home at the same time.
Hillaree Harris, Brigham Young University, Idaho; Clarisse McCann, Brigham Young University, Idaho; and Piper Walters, Dakota County Technical College, Minnesota have won the first, second and third places respectively in the kitchen design category. Lisa Lally, East Carolina University, Greenville, North Carolina received honorable mention.

Sophia Hebener, Arapahoe Community College, Littleton, Colorado received an honorable mention.
The winners will be awarded at the NKBA Design Competition Awards Luncheon on April 16, 2010 at the Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS) held at McCormick Place in Chicago. This event will also recognize the professional designers who created the best kitchens and baths of the past year.
