Competition Details: On the first day of each "Color Me Impressed" Entry Period,
dwell.com will name a household room and call out an inspirational "muse" chosen directly from the corresponding video in the Glidden™ Paint "Color Theory" video series posted on dwell.com. Contestants will be invited to create a .jpg collage of photographs, patterns, drawings, and colors inspired by the identified muse. Each collage must be submitted at dwell.com/contests/submit/color-me-impressed-round-one and must incorporate at least 3 paint colors from the Glidden™ Paint online paint catalogue found at glidden.com/color/color-palette.do. Contestants may submit more than one entry, with a maximum of three entries per Competition round. Submissions will be judged by a panel of Dwell© Magazine editors, design professionals, and color authorities jointly selected by Dwell and Glidden™ Paint. The same judges will be used for all three rounds. Judging criteria will include each of the following elements, which will be weighed in equal percentages: originality of entry, most creative use of color, and best relationship to the "muse" object. One winner will be selected for each of the three rounds. Each winner will receive a $1000 (one thousand dollar) gift certificate to Home Depot. -
