Open to college juniors and seniors and graduate students, IIDA NY’s Annual Student Design Awards celebrated young interior design talent last week. Students were asked to submit a maximum of two projects that “showcased their creativity and ingenuity,” in addition to a design statement that outlined the challenge, solution and inspiration involved in the work. Four students won top honors, and another five earned honorable mentions for their design projects.
