The Evolve Awards is an industry design competition presented by Designer Rugs, where interior design professionals have the opportunity to design a rug to feature in the Designer Rugs Evolve Collection. Established in 2010, the award came from the desire to show the possibilities of custom rug design to the interior design community, as well as support an industry that has supported us for over 30 years. The competition has run four times in 2010, 2012, 2015 and 2019. 2019 marked the first time the awards recognised a category for emerging designers, and also included entries from the Asia Pacific region.
