Calling all Architecture and Interior Design students out there. This is your chance to showcase your skills and talent and at the same time be mentored by leaders in design industry. Join Nippon Paint’s Asia Young Designer Award 2016.
It was first launched in Malaysia in 2008 as Nippon Paint Young Designer Award, aiming to inspire interior design and architecture students to apply creativity and innovation in design implementation. In 2015, it expanded to 11 more countries including the Philippines, Singapore, Bangladesh, Thailand, Pakistan, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Vietnam, China, Japan, and Hong Kong. This year, Nippon made the competition even bigger, by including 3 more Asian countries Sri Lanka, India and Taiwan, and re-launched it as “Asia Young Designer Award.”
Last July 21 at the Conservatory in Manila Peninsula, Nippon hosted a press con for Asia Young Designer Award 2016. Nippon Paint Young Designer Award 2015 winners Jose Agustin Ricarte (Architecture) and Martha Joyce Tomas (Interior Design), along with their mentors were present during the event and shared their experiences during the competition and how it has inspired them and gave them a strong head start in their respective careers.
This year’s Asia Young Designer Award theme is Be Bold. Be Free. Be You.
Be Bold: Take on challenges and concepts that are out of the ordinary, break out from conventional ways.
Be Free : There is nothing for you to lose, think beyond conservativeness and deliver ideas without boundaries
Be You : AYDA is a platform that rewards expressions of individuality. Unleash your creativity and let us nurture it together.
