It was a colorful afternoon at the Manila Peninsula as we witnessed the launch of Nippon Paint Asia Young Designer Award (AYDA) last July 21, 2016. This contest is open to all interior design and architecture students who are in their senior years. This contest was started in 2008 to inspire design students to be more creative.

Here were some of the happenings during the launch an hour before the program.
| THEME: “BE BOLD. BE FREE. BE YOU.” |
| Participants are encouraged to create a design that has something unique to offer design professionals, commercial buyers and the community alike. It has to be a brave new idea that no one has ever seen, which carries commercial value and yet pays careful attention to the well-being and green sustainability of its surrounding community. Our judges are looking for a well thought out design that is both phenomenal and useful, executed in top-notch quality to match. |
