As much as I sometimes wish I’d taken art, graphics or interior design at uni, I didn’t … and although my dreams haven’t been completely crushed, when I was told about this fab new competition by Valspar I had to share to hopefully make someone else’s dreams come true!
To celebrate its UK launch, American paint brand, Valspar, is calling to all budding interior designers to enter the Valspar Young Interior Designer of the Year Competition.
Valspar is searching for interior design students who are fearless with color and can help revolutionise the way the nation chooses paint for their homes.
You could win the following AMAZING prizes (Not just one!):
- The opportunity to work with award winning designers- such as Will Taylor from Bright Bazaar, and top interior stylist Marianne Cotterill
- The winner’s work will be showcased in Livingetc magazine
- Plus £5,000 towards their student fees, or to invest in their budding career in interior design
All you have to do:
- Submit a mood board re-designing the interior of a residential living room
- The brief for this competition is broad; however the central theme is ‘inspiring with colour’.
- You are given dimensions and a budget for your plans too.
And here are the judges:
- Interiors author, journalist and blogger, Will Taylor from http://www.Brightbazaarblog.com
- Claire Cullen, Brand Manager and trends spokesperson for Valspar Europe
- Dame Zandra Rhodes, celebrated British Fashion icon and Chancellor of the University of Creative Arts
- Lindsey Rendall, Chair of the Student Committee of the British Institute of Interior Design
- Marianne Cotterill, Stylist from Livingetc magazine
