1st Place Winner from 2015 – Susan Herring of Echelon Interiors

Surya, a manufacturer of indoor and outdoor goods, is launching this week the third installment of its popular Surya Spaces contest. 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 Aug. 15, was created to showcase the design talent of Surya customers and spotlight the ways that the brand’s accessories – including accent furniture, art, bedding, decorative accents, lighting, mirrors, pillows, rugs and throws – can be used to create 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. “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."

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. 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.

Designers are encouraged to share photos of their design projects featuring Surya accessories year-round using the tag #suryaspaces.
