The Planning and Visual Education Partnership (PAVE) Student Design Competition, now in its 24th year, is open for entries for 2018. Geared toward college-level students involved in retail planning, design, visual merchandising and branding programs, PAVE 2018 invites participants to rethink and reinvent how The Home Depot stores can give customers the know-how they need to tackle all their home improvement projects with confidence. Prizes include grants to students and schools and winning students may even see their designs come to life. The grants for 2018 are: $8,000 — for the 1st place winner, $5,500 — for the 2nd place and $3,000 — for the 3rd place. Winners will also receive a travel stipend to be honored at the 2018 PAVE Gala on 5 December 2018 in New York City.
