NEW YORK, Sept. -- Whether an everyday object, a design classic or an architectural landmark, Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum invites the public to express their views on what constitutes good design as part of the 2007 National Design Awards program. From Sept. 17 through Oct. 16, 2007, design enthusiasts can submit nominations, participate in a discussion board and select their favorite designs at Cooper-Hewitt's Web site.
Launched in 2006, the People's Design Award complements the Museum's annual National Design Awards, which recognize the best in American design across a range of disciplines. The winner will be announced Oct. 18 at the National Design Awards Gala in New York City, which will be streamed live on Cooper-Hewitt's Web site at 10:00 p.m. EST. Marianne Cusato, designer of the Katrina Cottage, was selected as the first People's Design Award winner.
