Fall Ideal Home Show 2014 Booth with Design Competition Gallery
NSHBDA had a large open booth this year and used this space for a slide show exhibiting members photos of projects and a Gallery with all entries that were submitted in the 2014 NSHBDA Design Competition.
The show was slow on Friday and Saturday and picked up on Sunday.
We had a ballot box set up so the public could vote on a favorite design competition entry and by having a draw on Sunday we had a Designer win the Peoples Choice Award. The persons who filled out the winning ballot also won a $50.00 Gift Certificate to Swiss Chalet restaurant. Megan Brydon of Dartmouth won the Swiss Chalet $50.00 Gift Certificate. NSHBDA Designer Mark Pinhey of Pinhey Home Design won the 2014 Peoples Choice Award.

The Design Competition Gallery allows the members participating to display their work to the public. This will be beneficial to students. Not only do they get exposure but the students who are sitters in the booth / gallery now have a chance to talk to the public and gain experience which they will find useful after graduation.
