The TWOPAGES Design Contest 2026 has concluded its submission phase with a record 1,082 entries from 825 designers across 56 countries, the company announced on June 23, 2026. Public voting is now open through June 30, allowing design enthusiasts to support their favorite entries and influence this year's winning designs.
Record Participation and Global Reach
This year's competition, themed "Curtains as Art," marks the highest level of participation in the contest's history. TWOPAGES, a design-driven custom window treatments brand based in Ottawa, New York, and Los Angeles, reported that entries came from designers worldwide, reflecting the growing interest in reimagining curtains as a medium for creativity and expression.
Core Philosophy: Curtains as a Medium of Expression
The contest encourages designers to move beyond traditional home decor and explore three creative pillars: Curtain as Canvas, for storytelling through graphic, abstract, or poetic designs; Curtain as Architecture, shaping movement, proportion, and spatial rhythm; and Curtain as Emotion, filtering light and defining mood. This vision of "home expression" aims to elevate curtains from functional items to art forms.
Top 20 Finalists and Judging Panel
TWOPAGES has revealed its Top 100 shortlisted works and a curated showcase of the Top 20 finalists. Three internationally recognized design figures will evaluate the finalists: designer and curator Jennifer Farrell, former Elle Decor Executive Editor Ingrid Abramovitch, and artist and surface pattern designer Bonnie Christine. The Top 3 winners will be announced during the contest finale in September 2026.
Prizes and Commercial Opportunities
The competition offers prizes of up to $10,000. Selected winning designs may be considered for commercial production and launch through TWOPAGES, providing designers an opportunity to bring their concepts to consumers worldwide. "By continuously connecting with global creative talent, TWOPAGES Design Contest reinforces our design-centered lifestyle branding while building powerful momentum for future product rollouts and cross-industry collaborations," said Ray Chen, founder of TWOPAGES.
