As a loyal participant in past Design Awareness Trade Shows we are inviting you to display at the 2004 Design Awareness Trade Show and Event. This year’s event date is Friday, March 26, 2004. Registration deadline for vendors is February 6, 2004. Enclosed you will find the registration form, also available online at www.designawareness.org. Please be sure to take a look at our expanded website. Registration documents, vendor listings, and general information about the event, as we have it, will be posted there.

The focus of Design Awareness is to celebrate, encourage, and honor excellent design in the Intermountain Region of Utah, Idaho, Colorado, Wyoming, and Montana. The continuation of this event over the past nine years is due to countless volunteer hours, vendor participation, and sponsor donations.
