Durkan Names Winner of Its DSCVR Student Design Competition

Dalton, GA, May 6, 2022-Durkan awarded Corina Amarioarei the grand prize in its 2022 DSCVR Student Design Competition May 6, live on their Instagram.

The Durkan DSCVR student design competition was established in partnership with the Network of the Hospitality Industry (NEWH) to exhibit the talent of designers in the hospitality design field and contribute toward the education of future designers. Students majoring in interior design, textiles and other commercial interior studies from around the country submitted fresh and innovative designs for either a private or public space of a hotel.

This year, Durkan received over 100 entries. The winners were chosen from a selection of top 10 finalists by a public vote totaling over 5000.

Corina Amarioarei’s “A Magical Dance” was inspired by Disney fairy tales and ocean waves. She created a design that illustrated the feeling of dancing on a cloud, along with the joy of twirling in the ocean. The Carleton University student was inspired to enter DSCVR because she is passionate about creating unique and exciting designs.

For second place winner Sarah Clark, she took a different perspective and analyzed mushrooms for her design entitled “Undergrowth.”

Emma Street took third place in this year’s DSCVR competition with her design “Fading Nostalgia.”
