As we enter into the last few months of 2019 (happy October!), we’re starting to think ahead to next year. Part of that means we’re putting together a list of the next big faces in the design field—the 20 changemakers to know about in 2020. We’ve been asking some of the biggest names in design to share who they think everyone should know about—the people shaping the home design and decor and industries, the ones they hope everyone will be talking about in the coming year.

We’ll publish the list later this month, in partnership with Samsung.

But what if you know someone we haven’t even heard of yet? You might have a local design store owner, designer, YouTuber, or the like who you think deserves a national spotlight. And we’d love to meet them.

Here’s how it works: You can submit your nomination, and a few of our panelists will narrow it down to one reader-submitted pick as part of our final list of 20. The nominations will remain open Monday, October 21.

Perhaps you’ll nominate someone up-and-coming in their field, or maybe you’ll identify someone who’s been around for a while who you believe hasn’t received the national recognition they deserve. Either way, we can’t wait to see who you suggest for the project.
