Dunn-Edwards Paints Announces Inaugural Student Design Competition
Exceptional Emerging Professionals in Architecture + Design Compete for Cash Prizes Now Through August 6. Open to Currently Enrolled Students Nationwide.
Los Angeles, CA, June 03, 2021 --(PR.com)-- Dunn-Edwards Paints is proud to announce the inaugural Emerging Professionals Design Competition which will honor exceptional emerging professionals in architecture and design. All architectural and interior design emerging professionals nationwide currently enrolled in school are eligible to apply by August 6, 2021. There is no fee to enter. Winners will be announced by August 31, 2021.
“Dunn-Edwards has a proven track record of partnering successfully with architecture and design industry professionals,” said Dunn-Edwards Vice President of Marketing Tim Bosveld. “This competition is the latest expression of our professional partnerships and points to a renewed commitment to our Emerging Professionals Program 'EPP' which focuses on student designers, which was just re-launched this year.”
Dunn-Edwards recognizes that professional development is an evolution. This competition fills a void to allow all skill levels to practice real-world applications of commercial and residential design while still in school. Using Dunn-Edwards Color of the Year, Wild Blue Yonder (DE5855), to anchor the designs, advanced and beginner entrants must address a specific need for a hypothetical client. Advanced tier entrants submit a mood board, color renderings and written description. Beginner tier entrants submit a mood board and written description.
