Doug Mockett & Company’s Annual Design Competition

2016 will be our 31st Annual Design Competition. Seeking the best innovative ideas in furniture parts, components, accessories and hardware. Even if you think your idea is too prosaic, dull, unusual or “not good enough”, we urge you to send it in and let us be the judge of that. You would be surprised at how many First Place award winners were shocked when they got the congratulatory call! They never thought they had a chance…

Entry is easy: Send us a clear write-up about your idea. A drawing is even better, and a model is best. Please send FedEx or Registered mail and show Attn: Design Competition on your label or airbill.  Entries can also be emailed to [email protected] (PDF files only).


Deadline is the Tuesday after Labor day, September 6, 2016 and the judges meet and decide in December. First Place entries are awarded $1000, an engraved achievement trophy, and a royalty based on sales, with no limit to the number of First Place awards.
