Entries are now open for the iconic Dulux 2020 Colour Awards, now in its staggering 34th year. The competition invites Australian and New Zealand-based design professionals and students including architects, interior designers and interior decorators to submit work which celebrates innovative use of colour across interior and exterior commercial, public and residential spaces.
The program recognises designers who are using colour as the hero within a space, (categories include residential and commercial through to student) as a strategic feature in innovative design and most importantly, making it truly sing in their interior schemes. This year there’s a new exciting addition to the rules; entrants will be eligible to submit work using not only Dulux products, but also those from Porter's Paints.
