Online Voting Now Open for Durkan's Student Design Competition

Calhoun, GA, November 11, 2020-Durkan announced that for the very first time, the hospitality flooring manufacturer has opened the dscvr Student Design Competition for public voting, beginning November 10. Each year, dscvr identifies and exhibits emerging talent in the field of hospitality design and contributes toward the education of these future designers. Sponsored by Durkan in partnership with NEWH, the contest challenged applicants to design coordinating floorscapes for ballroom and pre-function areas using 12 colors or less.

The initial flurry of submissions was reviewed and judged based on concept, presentation and market feasibility. The architecture and design community is invited to vote for their favorite among a selection of the ten highest-scoring design concepts to help choose and recognize the 2020 grand prize winner. Voting takes place exclusively on the dscvr platform through November 13, at 11:59 p.m. EST.

From this group of talented individuals, one winner will be awarded a $2,500 NEWH scholarship and a bespoke design experience exclusively curated by Durkan.

Once the votes are tallied, the dscvr grand prize winner will be announced on November 18.
