Evolve Awards, People's Choice Award voting ends 26 November

Evolve Awards 2010

In January this year, Designer Rugs announced the inaugural Evolve Awards. The finalists have been announced and now it’s time to crown the winner of the People’s Choice Award.

With over 850 submissions entered from Australian and New Zealand Interior design professionals, 25 were selected as short listed finalists. Each shortlisted design has the opportunity to win the People’s Choice award voted by industry and the general public.

The winner of this award will receive a BeCom 5 phone from Bang and Olufsen. Valued at $1,265. (An individualised two-line handset for the household, BeoCom 5 includes an elegant cordless speaker phone, built-in phonebook and full-graphic display.)

All voters in the People’s Choice Award will go into the draw to win $1,000 worth of prizes. To vote visit www.designerrugs.com.au/top-25-finalists/ and email your favourite rug design to evolve@designerrugs.com.au (Don’t forget to include the designer name in the subject line and your contact details in the body of the email). You can only vote once and for one design- your favourite!

Evolve will continue as an annual fixture on the design calendar. The selected six rugs, each limited to an edition of 30, will join Designer Rugs ID COLLECTION which will be on sale from November 2010.
