The theme of this year’s contest is “Curtain As Art.” We invite designers to create curtain concepts that function like works of art — whether bold or subtle, abstract or narrative, traditional or experimental — as long as the design feels intentional and original.

No, participation is completely free.

Anyone aged 18 or above is welcome to participate, regardless of gender, nationality, or professional background.

All submissions must align with the official contest theme, meet the submission requirements, and be original works created by the participant.

Each submission must include at least 8 distinctive pattern designs presented as one cohesive collection or theme. The collection may share a common color palette, motif direction, artistic style, or visual language.

No, all submissions must be provided in digital format. Hand-drawn sketches alone will not be accepted as valid entries.

You may submit your entry through the official online submission form or by emailing your materials to twopages@twopagescurtains.com. To help us respond more efficiently, please use the subject line “TWOPAGES X Design Contest 2026” in your email.

You may submit your designs either as individual files or compiled into one document, although a single compiled presentation is preferred for easier review.

Yes, we highly encourage participants to include a pdf introducing the collection concept, inspirations, and creative direction behind the designs.

Each individual pattern design should be submitted in square format. We also highly recommend using a square format for collection overview pages to maintain a more cohesive presentation, although mockups may use any layout format.

Yes, all design works should be submitted in digital static 2D formats such as PDF, JPEG, or TIFF with a minimum resolution of 300 dpi.

No, a separate repeat tile file is not required. However, the pattern repeat unit should be clearly specified, and seamless tiling should be demonstrated through mockups or renderings.

Mockups may be created using Illustrator, Photoshop, or AI rendering tools, as long as the designs are clearly applied to curtains or shades with the window treatment remaining the main visual focus.

Yes, existing designs published on POD platforms are allowed, provided they have not previously been sold or used on home textile products such as curtains.

No, this contest focuses on original pattern and curtain design rather than room styling or interior decoration projects.

All submissions will be evaluated based on the listed Evaluation Criteria.

The contest awards include $10,000 for 1st Place, $8,000 for 2nd Place, $6,000 for 3rd Place, and $2,000 finalist prizes for seven selected finalists. In addition, the Top 3 winning designs will have the opportunity to be mass-produced, showcased, and promoted through media exposure.

Only selected winning designs may move into production, and this would only happen with the designer’s full agreement. Designers retain ownership of their work unless otherwise discussed.

No, exclusivity applies specifically to home and textile categories rather than all product categories.

Yes, winners are required to attend the official award ceremony in person, and TWOPAGES will cover both flight and hotel expenses.

Winners will be officially announced during the award ceremony in September 2026.

Yes, winners must submit all required information, including identification and payment details, within 7 days of notification. Failure to do so may result in forfeiture of the prize.
