Criteria & Judging Process
An independent panel of judges will determine a Grand Prize winner and up to two Outstanding Merits in each category. One overall store entry will also be awarded Store of the Year. In addition, several store fixtures will receive Store Fixture Awards, one of which will be awarded Fixture of the Year. All awards are determined at the judges' discretion; decisions are final.
The principal criteria for judging will be
• excellence in design
• originality in the use of space and fixtures
• quality in executing the total concept
Store Fixture Awards will further critique the functionality and integration of the fixture(s) in support of the store’s overall brand.
Winners will be notified by February 15, 2006.

Awards for the winning entries will be presented at NASFM's 50th Anniversary Celebration and Retail Design Awards Presentation at the end of the first day of GlobalShop, the NASFM-sponsored trade show that takes place in Orlando in 2006.
