ASID DESIGN HOME 2024 BIDDING PROCESS
There are several exciting changes to the bidding process for Design Home 2024. At the request of the ASID MN Board of Directors, the Design Home committee has created an updated process for awarding showcase rooms based on “points” earned from chapter participation while also adding a new portfolio review to the bidding process. This hybrid process honors the traditions of the past while also encouraging participation from newer and younger designers as well as designers who, for whatever reason, have not been able to volunteer to earn participation points.
For Design Home 2024 three rooms will be awarded by a blind portfolio review conducted by an independent panel from another chapter. 20+ additional spaces will be awarded on the traditional point system detailed below. With nearly 30 rooms available, including the unique kitchen opportunity, to the grand salon, music/living room, cocktail bar, a children’s room, unique primary suite, billiards room, multiple bathrooms and guest suites, and even a hidden speakeasy, design opportunities are truly endless!
This once-in-a-lifetime showcase is a unique marketing exhibition designed to connect your business with the community through print, live events and digital marketing. Be part of the transformation as we celebrate the best of remodeling inspiration, interior design, and preservation craft. We encourage everyone to consider bidding on a space and encourage all designers to also submit their portfolios. This is a fabulous home with multiple opportunities for all designers to engage and show their creative voice.

Participation Requirements
- Be an ASID Interior Designer member in good standing (Current on dues)

Room Bidding Process (based on prior procedure)
- Tour the home or send an associate.
- Select four spaces you would like to work on
- Submit Bid Sheets to the ASID office by July 1, 2023
The bid sheet will have direction for rooms of choice, your openness to work with other spaces/interior designers, along with a breakdown of how to record your points.
Participation Points
Points are calculated based on the following involvement:
- President of the Chapter (10 pts)
- Board Member (5 pts)
- Committee Chair/Co-Chair (5 pts)
- Committee Member (3 pts)
- Member (3 pts)
All points are verified by the ASID office. To account for the challenges of Covid, ASID MN will be tabulating points based on the last 7 years instead of the standard 5 years. If you dropped your membership during Covid and opt to rejoin, you will retain your previously earned points.
Room Assignment Procedure
• The committee uses Participation Points to determine awarding of rooms and sorts submissions based on points earned. The designer with the highest number of points will get their 1st choice of room. The committee then looks to the designer with the 2nd highest number of points. They will be awarded their 1st choice of rooms unless it is already selected, in which they will be awarded their second choice of rooms, and so forth. It is the committee’s goal to award each designer one of their top 4 choices, but as some rooms are more sought after than others it is not always possible.
• Rooms will be assigned on July 10, 2023. If we need to offer you another space we will need to reach you by phone that day. Please make yourself available to receive our call. If we cannot reach you, we will move on and offer the space to the next designer in the queue.
•There are several options to participate beyond ranked room choices.
- If you indicate you are open to working on an alternate space in the case your 4 preferred rooms have already been assigned, you will be called in the order of ranked points to be offered an alternate space. (If you indicate that you don’t want to be considered for rooms beyond your 4 preferred rooms and they have already been assigned you will not be called.)
- The chapter wants to be inclusive and collaborative so designers are encouraged to team up. Two designers can partner on a space together.
- Submit your work to be considered in the Portfolio Review process.
Portfolio Review Process
- Submit your blind portfolio digitally accompanied with your bid form to the ASID office by July 1, 2023. In order to ensure anonymity, no branding or identifying information can be included in portfolio submissions and portfolios with identifying information will be disqualified.
- The portfolios will be judged by an independent panel from another chapter.
- If your portfolio is selected you will be awarded one of the following: a room based on your choice, a room pre-selected by the committee, and a room based the choice of the homeowner. If your portfolio is not selected, your bid sheet will follow the regular assignment process.
