Each winter ILEA Denver hosts a Designer Showcase. Each year the Education and Programs committee comes up with a theme to help guide teams as they create one-of-a-kind showcases. This event allows teams and companies to show off new and exciting trends, and demonstrate their abilities to work with a team of professionals to bring a showcase to life. The call for teams will be posted in the fall.
Below you will see the winners from past years and a list of the professionals involved in those award winning showcases.
