2020 IDEC Video Competition
IDEC, the Interior Design Educators Council, invites entries for their 2020 IDEC Video Competition.
The Theme
The 2020 IDEC Video Competition will explore the meaning of diversity and inclusion for interior designers. Can we envision a universal design platform that is broader and more inclusive than past conceptualizations? What would a truly diverse interior design workforce look like? How can interior designers better support ideas of diversity and inclusion through education, practice, or research? The 2020 video competition seeks videos that expand audience thinking about the practice and future of interior design in an increasingly diverse society. Successful videos will appeal to both designers and a general audience of non-designers.
The Video Requirements
The video for the 2020 IDEC Video Competition must be between 1-3 minutes in length. Be efficient and succinct. Videos from past years – including 2019 winners – can be viewed HERE.
No copyright or infringing content (audio or video) can be included. Any citations should be included on the final screen of the video.
Creative approaches to the video are encouraged. This could include imagery, interviews, testimonials, demonstrations, case studies, or non-traditional ideas including copyright-permissible music. The video should be entertaining and positive with a message that advocates our profession.
The Participants
