Armstrong Beginning Two-Tiered Design Contest

Lancaster, PA, Sept. 9, 2011 -- Armstrong World Industries is beginning a professional design competition called “ideas 2 reality,” as a way to showcase Armstrong commercial products.

For the idea portion of the contest, architects and interior designers can upload sketches or renderings created with Armstrong flooring or ceiling products in mind, providing them with an outlet to share creative concepts without having a finished installation.

The reality portion allows specifiers to upload pictures of completed projects where Armstrong ceiling or flooring products were used.

Conducted in conjunction with the International Interior Design Association, the competition has four categories: two “idea” categories, one for flooring and one for ceilings/walls, and two “reality” categories, one for flooring and one for ceilings/walls.

There will be a winner in each category. Prizes include vacations or cash and catered events.

Idea category winners will be determined by an online popular vote. Reality category winners will be determined by a panel of IIDA professionals.

Deadline is Oct. 28.
