On Tuesday, May 1, a distinguished panel of jurors—Anda Andrei, Gabriela Hearst, Daniel Humm, José Parlá, Paula Scher, and Steve Wilson—came together at Convene’s newly opened flagship space at 101 Greenwich Street to select the winners of the second-annual Surface Travel Awards. The competition’s 24 categories, which range from micro-hotels and restaurants to exhibitions and cultural institutions, seek to recognize the year’s most transformative projects and personalities at the intersection of travel and design.

The selection process was led by Surface Media editorial director and Surface magazine editor-in-chief Spencer Bailey, Surface travel editor Nate Storey, and luxury lifestyle content strategist Peter Frank. The awards ceremony announcing the winners will take place in August, in conjunction with Surface’s Travel Issue.
