Crossville Announces Common Thread for the Cure Scarf Design Contest

Crossville, TN, April 14, 2016—Crossville, Inc. has launched its second scarf design contest, a biennial competition held in support of The Common Thread for the Cure, the nonprofit organization that provides practical support for members of the furnishings and interior design industries facing the challenges of breast cancer.

Members of Crossville’s distribution network and the design community at large have already submitted designs for consideration, and the company is now announcing those who will be part of the contest’s judging panel. The company has enlisted four renowned interior designers from across the country to determine the contest’s winning design.

‪▪ Allan Dallatorre—Los Angeles-area interior designer, design consultant to TOTO USA, owner of Hinge Decor of Hollywood

‪▪ Lisa Mende—Charlotte, North Carolina-based, nationally acclaimed interior designer, allied member of ASID, IDS, Design Trust of NYC, and Withit

‪▪ Linda Holt—Boston-area interior designer, member of Benjamin Moore Advisory board, contributor to Merrimack Valley Magazine

‪▪ Kathy Sandler—Nashville, TN-based interior designer and editor-in-chief of design blog LiveTheFineLife.com

Sandler, Dallatorre, Mende, and Holt will vote on scarf design concepts submitted by a range of entrants from Crossville’s distribution network and the design community at large. The judges’ winning design will be produced and sold to raise funds to go toward The Common Thread for the Cure’s Helping Hand Grants, in time for October/Breast Cancer Awareness month.

Additionally, Crossville will open the contest to popular vote to determine another winner for production of a second scarf. Popular voting will be open April 14 to 30 and may be tracked by following @crossvilleinc on social platforms. Anyone can vote by visiting bit.ly/crossvillescarfcontest.
