2022 VMSD RDFRG Call for Submissions Logo
  • VMSD’s May issue will feature a special focus on the design firm industry. All contract design firms, architecture firms and independent designers that create retail and commercial interiors are invited to participate. Information from these questions will comprise our annual Retail Design Firm Resource Guide. The main guide will be published on vmsd.com, while the rankings table will be published in the print edition of the May 2022 issue. 

    This listing is restricted to contract design firms, architecture firms, independent designers, etc. Submissions from manufacturers, suppliers, distributors or event/trade show management companies will be automatically disqualified.

    DEADLINE EXTENDED to March 11

    For questions or concerns, please contact Managing Editor Carly Hagedon at carly.hagedon@smartworkmedia.com

    Please note: The Retail Design Firm Resource Guide is a completely free editorial opportunity. For questions about advertising, please contact Linda D'Adamo at linda.dadamo@smartworkmedia.com or Murray Kasmenn at murray.kasmenn@smartworkmedia.com. Those who submit their design firm fees (to be included in the rankings table) will receive the opportunity to purchase an enhanced listing for the guide, which includes a bolded listing and the inclusion of a logo. However, this is not mandatory, and if you do not choose to purchase an enhanced listing, you will still be included in the main guide at vmsd.com.
