In its sixth year, the Denali Design-A-Throw<\/a> competition saw record-breaking numbers. Denali Home Collection<\/a>, a division of Monterey Mills<\/a>, sponsors the competition and awards cash prizes to the top nine designs. This year’s theme, “Floral”, was open to college and university students enrolled in a graphic design, fashion, interior design, textile or related field of study. The 2016 competition was met with 763 entries from 334 students representing 22 universities across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2012, seven Wilson College of Textiles students have been finalists in the competition. This year marks the first time a student from the college has won the overall competition. Claire Gibson, a 2016 graduate of the College’s Master’s of Textiles program, took home the top prize with her design “Autumn Dahlias”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I was inspired to do this print by looking at wedding bouquets with a close friend of mine. She is planning on having an autumn or winter wedding and I fell in love with the richness of the color in all the flowers we were looking at for her. I chose dahlias because they have this great geometric look and the depth of color I wanted,” she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also drawing inspiration from the Dahlia flower, Jamie Harvey, a senior studying Fashion and Textile Design with a focus on Textile Design, won third place in the competition with “Dahlias”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“My design was inspired by the natural geometry of the dahlia flower, while taking into consideration the market and current style of the Denali brand,” said Harvey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students entering the competition are limited to a color palate of four, with an optional “birdseye” color, which gives the effect of more than four colors. Judging occurs blind by a team of five Denali employees, and judges consider the theme, originality, creativity, layout on different size throws, and the design’s appeal to Denali customers when determining the victors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
