Doug Mockett & Co. Inc. is now accepting entries to its annual design competition.
Mockett is seeking innovative ideas in furniture parts, components, accessories and hardware. Even if you think your idea is too prosaic, dull, unusual or not good enough, you are urged to send it in and let Mockett be the judge of that. Many first place award winners were shocked when they got the congratulatory call and never thought they had a chance.
To enter, send a write-up about your idea; a drawing is even better and a model is best. Send FedEx or Registered mail and write “Attn: Design Competition” on the label or airbill. Entries can also be emailed to [email protected] (PDF files only).
The deadline to submit entries is Sept. 4, the Tuesday after Labor Day. Judges will meet and decide the winners in December. First place entries are awarded $1000, an engraved achievement trophy, and a royalty based on sales, with no limit to the number of first place awards.
Questions can be emailed to [email protected], or call (800) 523-1269 from the USA, Canada, Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands. Callers from everywhere else can call (310) 318-2491. Entries can be submitted online or sent to Doug Mockett & Co., 1915 Abalone Ave., Torrance, Calif., 90501.
