We know you all share the same guilty pleasure with us of watching those obnoxious TV design shows. You may even channel your inner Simon Cowell as you find yourself critiquing the designer’s every move from the comfort of your sofa (I know I do!). Have you ever thought to yourself “if only I could do that”? Well, here’s you chance…We want you to be the next IndigoSage Design Star!!!
IndigoSage Furniture Gallery is challenging anyone out there, no matter your age or profession, to design a window merchandising vignette to be displayed throughout the fall season. The winner of this contest will have their design implemented, as best as we possibly can, in our main 25th Street-side window, and will be recognized as our IndigoSage Design Star in our showroom and newsletter, and on our website, blog, and facebook and twitter pages. We want the world to see what you accountants, librarians, and so-called “non-visual” people can create. Entries will be anonymously posted each day on our blog and voting will take place by posting comments on each entry posted. Even if your creative juices aren’t flowing please follow our blog and participate in voting for the most creative designs.
Can’t wait to get started? Here are those dreaded rules…
The dimensions of our main raised window area are 7’6” long by 10’ wide, and 12’ high. Designs must be created within this space, and there is one major obstacle, so read the notes on the entry form carefully. Although we would love to create your most elaborate designs spot-on, you are limited to the furniture and accessories we currently have in stock, so please be nonspecific when choosing items for your design. Items you may use include: king, queen or twin beds; dressers, chests or cabinets; accent table, coffee table, console/sofa tables, dining tables or desks; accent chairs, dining chairs, arm chairs, sofas or barstools; rugs, table lamps, floor lamps, chandeliers/pendants, mirrors, artwork, faux florals/trees or miscellaneous accessories. We also have access to hanging and mounting supplies, but use common sense while specifying items to be suspended. If you think it might be too heavy to hang from our ceiling then it probably is! Add any needed notes and go crazy! Ask us questions…we are here to help! We will post a sample entry form to show you what to do. To get your hands on an entry form stop by IndigoSage, or, until we can get the full size form posted to the blog, email julia@indigosagegallery.com and you will receive a reply email with the pdf attachment. Entries can be submitted in person at our showroom, emailed, faxed, or mailed. Addresses and our fax number are on the entry form. The deadline for submitting entries is September 11th. Voting will continue until September 15th, and the IndigoSage Design Star and winning design will be unveiled September 20th. The vignette will be visible 24/7 on Historic 25th Street until the week of Thanksgiving.
This is your opportunity to not have to live vicariously through those TV designers so get going! We are really excited to see your entries!
