Outdoor Kitchen Design Competition

Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet is a proud sponsor of the first and only nation-wide award focused on recognizing excellence in outdoor kitchen design. The Oasis Award is a great opportunity for outdoor kitchen design professionals to gain exposure and recognition for their business, with the winner featured in Garden Design magazine each year.

Demand for outdoor kitchens is exploding. According to a recent survey by the American Society of Landscape Architects, outdoor kitchens are among the most popular spaces being designed for residential clients. “Homeowners are requesting... complete outdoor rooms, such as kitchens and bars, for entertaining.“

According to the National Kitchen and Bath Association, architects are seeing a 64% increase in outdoor kitchen requests as compared to 47% in 2005, and a recent outdoor living report by Standpoint Marketing Research states that 1.2 million new households will install an outdoor kitchen in the next year.

In keeping with this growing trend, Garden Design magazine and Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet have joined forces to present the Oasis Award, recognizing excellence in outdoor kitchen design.

Entries for the third annual competition are due
August 3, 2009.
