Grand prize winners are slated to receive national recognition through a feature in Dunn-Edwards’ specs + spaces, acknowledgment on social media and $3,000 in cash. The beginner tier winners will receive $100 prepaid credit cards.
Two early-bird prizes will also be awarded and include an all-expenses paid trip to a design destination in the United States with a plus one. This prize will be randomly awarded to early applicants who apply by June 19.
Dunn-Edwards Color of the Year, Art and Craft (DET682), is the centerpiece of all design submissions for the residential and commercial categories. Each entrant is required to address a specific need for a hypothetical client. Beginner tier entrants are asked to submit a mood board and written description. While advanced tier entrants will have to submit a mood board, color renderings and written description.
“Dunn-Edwards puts a focus on students because they are the future for the innovation of color and design. My passion lies in color, and that’s why I am honored to be involved in this event for the second year in a row,” said Sara A. McLean, Editor and Color Marketing Manager at Dunn-Edwards.
Other judges participating in the 2022 Emerging Professionals Design Competition include Sarah Stieber, Muralist and Jewelry Maker; Anjana Joshi, Assistant Professor of Interior Design at Cañada College and Chabot College; and Jason Lai, Owner/Principal Designer at JL Interiors.
The deadline for submissions is Aug. 7. The company anticipates announcing a winner by Aug. 31.
