PAVE 2018 Student Design Competition

The Home Depot

BRIEF

The annual international competition is only open to college-level students involved in retail planning, design, visual merchandising, and branding programs.

For the DIY new homeowner or even the seasoned Pro contractor, home improvement projects can be exciting and exhilarating. But getting the right tools, the right materials and the right know-how can make home improvement projects daunting as well.

The 2018 PAVE Design Challenge invites you to rethink and reinvent how The Home Depot stores can give customers the know-how they need to tackle all their home improvement projects with confidence. As a company, we challenge ourselves to bring fresh thinking and customer-centric innovation every day.

For this challenge we encourage you to:

• THINK BEYOND CURRENT TRENDS
  Set the standard for others to follow

• COMBINE DESIGN FIELDS
  Architecture, Interior Design, Visual Merchandising and Graphic Design

• EXPAND THE WAY WE ENGAGE OUR CUSTOMERS
  To create a one-of-a-kind in-store environment
