Environments for Aging is now accepting nominations for its 3rd Annual Dining Competition, a special awards program honoring the best dining spaces in senior living.
To nominate a senior living dining space, reservations are due by May 9, and presentations are due by May 23.
The awards will celebrate projects that offer a variety of venues and choices in settings for residents, families, and staff; spaces that promote resident engagement and contribute to an exceptional dining experience; and effective space design and planning to support dining operations in both front- and back-of-house function and flow.
The program is open to architecture and design firms, senior living communities and owners/operators, food service consultants, and other key project team members involved in the design of dining spaces. Vendors are not eligible.
Eligible projects entail new construction, remodels and renovations, and projects in progress with renderings. With the exception of those in progress, projects must have been completed after January 2023. Dining spaces that have been submitted to other EFA competitions, such as Design Showcase or Remodel/Renovation, are eligible as long as they meet completion date requirements.
The winners of the competition will be featured in a special supplement published by Environments for Aging and celebrated at the 2026 Environments for Aging Conference + Expo set for March 16-18 in Phoenix.
