Mannington Opens Voting in Design Contest

Calhoun, GA, May 8, 2012 -- Voting has opened for the Grand Prize winner in Mannington Commercial's tx:style design challenge 2012.

In the past four years, the tx:style community has grown to include more than 20,000 architects, interior designers, members of the media and other fans of product design, Mannington said.

Members upload design concepts, comment on other entries, and vote. Now, the tx:style community is inviting the public to choose which of this year's four finalists will win.

The four finalists are Kristyn Hill of Boston, MA; Berglind Davis of Burlington, VT; Katie Henry of Fort Wayne, IN; Heather Bryan of Charlotte, NC.

All four finalists have already won a trip to New York for a design workshop, will be attending NeoCon as Mannington's guest, and are featured in a national advertising campaign.

Now each stands a chance to win $7,000 in total prize money, a trip to Milan for the International Furniture Fair, and the opportunity to develop her concept into a full carpet collection with Mannington Commercial.

The public can view profiles of each finalist and vote for their favorite designs 10 times per day, at manningtontxstyle.com.

Voting is open until June 12.
