Bill Algier Award 2025 - Bentwood Luxury Kitchens

ANNOUNCING THE 2025 KITCHEN CONTEST AND BILL ALGIER AWARD

Celebrating Great Design

At Bentwood Luxury Kitchens we are inspired every day by the outstanding residential designs our dealers create utilizing both the Bentwood™ and Harmoni™ products. With the continuation of this event, we would like to recognize, support, and promote the talent within our own national dealer network with the 2025 Kitchen Contest. In addition, we will honor one exceptional designer and project as an overall winner who will receive the prestigious Bill Algier Award!

Beloved kitchen designer Bill Algier touched many lives throughout his 30+ yr career at Bentwood, right up to his retirement in 2021. He was a true visionary, with a unique talent for creating beautiful, thoughtful luxury designs. His impact was felt by the clients he worked with as well as our own factory team who took valuable recommendations that helped us grow our product offerings. To honor such a talented friend, we developed the Bill Algier Award as a perfect way to recognize other outstanding dealer professionals.

We want to thank all of the talented kitchen designers within our national dealer network
and encourage you to identify projects that could be a winning project!
