The Innovation in Design Thinking: Student Competition was created exclusively for Canadian interior design students. The purpose of these awards is to provide students with a national platform to demonstrate the value of interior design and illustrate the positive impact design has on the users of the spaces, supported by evidence-based research.
The winners of the Innovation in Design Thinking – IDC Student Competition will be honoured at the IDC Awards Celebration on November 7, 2024.
