Surya Kicks Off Third Annual Surya Spaces Contest

July 6, 2016  by in Designer Weekly, Industry, Special Events   

With a tagline of ‘Inspiring Spaces Designed by You,‘ the photo challenge invites interior designers to submit high-resolution lifestyle images of their design projects using Surya accessories for the chance to win up to $1,000 toward Surya products.

The contest, which runs through August 15, was created to showcase the design talent of Surya customers and spotlight the almost limitless ways that the brand’s accessories – including accent furniture, art, bedding, decorative accents, lighting, mirrors, pillows, rugs and throws – can be used to create effortlessly coordinated spaces. Last year’s contest generated more than 150 entries from across the country. 

“Accessories truly have the power to transform a space,” said Satya Tiwari, president, Surya. “Every day, we see the amazing artistry of the designers who use our rugs and accessories to create spaces that are not only functional but also beautiful. We had such a great response to our Surya Spaces contest last year, and we are excited to once again share our design customers’ projects with a larger audience. Our strong social media presence is the perfect platform for highlighting their creative vision, and we look forward to seeing this year’s entries.”

All entries will be posted in a dedicated photo gallery on Surya’s Facebook page, and the entry earning the most ‘likes’ each week will be promoted across all of Surya’s social media channels, which have a combined total of more than 158,000 followers.

An in-house panel of judges will evaluate the entries based on creativity, design aesthetic and successful integration of Surya accessories. The first prize winner will receive a $1,000 product voucher toward their next Surya order, with the second and third place winners receiving a $750 and $500 product voucher, respectively.

To enter the contest, Surya design customers must email a professional quality photo of their design project along with a description of 250 characters or less to suryaspaces@surya.com. Each photo qualifies as a single entry, and up to three entries per designer are allowed. The contest closes at midnight ET on Monday, August 15, 2016, and winners will be announced on Surya’s Facebook page during the last week of August.
