Durkan announced that for the very first time, the hospitality flooring manufacturer has opened the dscvr Student Design Competition for public voting. 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.
“NEWH continues to nurture and support the next generation of the hospitality industry, and we are thankful for partners like Durkan for providing opportunities for these students to shine,” said Shelia Lohmiller, executive director of NEWH, a leading networking organization for hospitality industry professionals. “The dscvr program provides a unique opportunity that allows these students to gain insights, exposure, and recognition for their incredible talents. NEWH is proud to be a part of the dscvr program again this year.”
