Judging criteria for the contest include esthetic appeal, such as use of color, light/windows and theme; utilization of technology; function and efficiency; innovation; and how well the design has accomplished the entrant’s objective.

Winners will be announced on the week of Nov. 9 and will receive $1,000 each and be featured in ADA publications.

Last year’s inaugural winners were Dr. Robin Henderson Transforming Smiles in Clarkston, Washington, in the remodel category; and Toothbar in Austin, Texas, for the new build category.
