NEW YORK, Aug. 14 /PRNewswire/ --
Architectural Digest, the preeminent international design magazine,
will hold a series of open auditions for residential interior design
professionals and non-professionals alike, it was announced today by
Paige Rense, Editor in Chief. The two-day kick off search for new
design talent will take place during the Decoration and Design (D&D)
Building's annual Fall Market, Wednesday, Oct. 10 and Thursday, Oct.
11, 9:00 a.m. -- 5:00 p.m. Subsequent Architectural Digest Open
Auditions will take place at the Design Center Of The Americas
Winter Market (Dania Beach, Florida), the Pacific Design Center
Westweek Market (West Hollywood, California) and the Design Center
Houston Spring Market (Houston, Texas). At the conclusion of the
events, one winning design will be chosen by a panel of senior AD
editors and published in the magazine. The four design centers are
owned and managed by Charles S. Cohen, President/CEO of Cohen
Brothers Realty Corporation.
"I'm delighted to give anyone with
a passion and a talent for design a forum to meet AD editors face to
face and show them their work." Said Ms. Rense. "Architectural
Digest is always searching for new and innovative talent in design
and architecture, and our sponsorship of the D&D Building's fall
market is a perfect time and place to launch our nationwide search."
Ms. Rense invites professionals and
nonprofessionals alike to bring photos of a completed residential
project. Participants should bring photos (no disks or
transparencies) that should include two shots (maximum) of each of
the major rooms in the residence. They should be prepared to leave
the portfolio behind. The editorial panel will choose semi-finalists
from each of the nationwide design center markets. The editors will
select one winner's designs to appear both in an issue of the
magazine and the website (www.ArchitecturalDigest.com).
Additionally, semi-finalists' work from each Market Event will be
posted on the AD website so that the public can vote on their
favorite design.
