The Mohawk Show Winners

We knew that we could count on the design community to deliver when it came to The Mohawk Show. Hundreds of entries poured in from around the world, each unique and inspiring in their own right, but only 6 could be winners — 1 Best in Show and 5 Judge's Choice winners.

After much deliberation and a lot of boxes shipped back and forth across the country to our esteemed panel of Judges, we are delighted to present to you The Mohawk Show 2020 Winners.
