LAUREN JOHNS ART & LIFE EDITOR
More than 20 years ago, the Boardwalk Interior Design Contest was created to allow students studying this degree to present their work on presentation boards. The event, (held in the Contemporary Art Gallery), officially started at five with the awards ceremony but required that contestants arrive at 4:30 to greet the judges. Afterward, the gallery viewing party commenced with provided refreshments. This particular competition is held every 1-2 years and this year on Thursday, Jan. 24, STLCC students won 11 awards. Mizzou and Maryville placed as well. First place winners received $100 and second place finishers received $50. After completing their projects on various software programs like AutoCAD, Revit and Photoshop, student work was submitted into categories: Residential, Commercial, Hospitality, Healthcare, Group Design Projects, Specialty, and Kitchen and Bath Design. Additional competing schools were Missouri State, Southeast Missouri State, Southern Illinois University, Stevens Institute of Business and Arts and the University of Central Missouri.
