Calling All Interior Design Schools / Students!!!

Calling All Interior Design Schools / Students!!!

 

 The 2017 Awards Gala Committee is reaching out to see who would like to be involved with this year’s ASID Design Excellence Awards Gala! We have created a competition for interior design students to be involved in, as a way to contribute to the celebration & gain recognition for your creativity.

 

Competition: 

ASID Design Awards Gala Photography Backdrop

 

Area of Use:

The backdrops will be where all photographs will be taken as guests walk into the event — just like a Red Carpet event — AND also where all the professional photographs will be taken of the winning recipient(s) with their award.

 

Guidelines:

These are minimal on purpose. We want you to really think about this and not limit your design. We just have a few guidelines and the rest is up to you.

 

1 Minimum size of 6’8’ and Maximum size of 10’x8’

2 Teams are required to use material from manufacturer reps and/or other materials. You will need to reach out to manufacturer reps directly for materials to be donated. This also is a good learning experience as you will be working with manufacturing reps daily when out of school.

3 Select materials at your discretion as it fits your overall design.

4 Backdrop needs to be free-standing and sturdy.

5 BE CREATIVE! This is a challenge to see how you can come up with a concept, overall design, and building it.

6 Your team will need to deliver the backdrop to the venue on the day of the event. Teams are responsible for removing their backdrop at end of event. 

 

Winning School:

Winning School will be announced at the Design Excellence Awards Gala Ceremony. Each member of the winning team will receive a cash prize!

 

If your school is interested, please select one person to be the Team Lead. The Team Lead should then send the below information via email to Roxanne Carlson <roxanne.carlson@milliken.com>:
