The Stars on the Rise category originated in 2012 and honors a small group of architects and/or designers who represent the new guard of design—individuals who have come into their own and contributed new ideas and sensibilities to the Florida design community and beyond.

On the evening of Wednesday, February 5, after a full day of Winter Market events, DCOTA will shine the spotlight on the honorees as part of an awards ceremony and champagne toast beginning at 6:00 p.m.
