PAVE Calls for Rising Star Nominations
Hollywood, Fla. (August 16, 2011)—The Planning and Visual Education Partnership (PAVE) calls for nominations for its 5th Annual Rising Star Award to recognize young retail visionaries.
Retailers are invited to nominate individuals (under 40 years of age) working in retail design, visual presentation, or contract design who are proven innovators and leaders among peers. This free award program seeks nominees who demonstrate originality; passion for their work; intuitive decision making; a willingness to take risks; ambition; persistence and resourcefulness to achieve effective results; a big-picture, "what's next?" mindset; professionalism and appropriate business etiquette; and the desire to seek inspiration from unexpected sources.
Any retail organization may nominate individuals by completing the electronic nomination form and submitting it to PAVE by Oct. 14, 2011. The nominee can be a member of the retail organization, a retail designer, or an industry supplier with whom the retailer works closely. There is no charge to enter.
Nominations will be reviewed by a panel of industry professionals. Finalists will be recognized and the winner presented with the award during the PAVE Gala, Dec 7, 2011, at Cipriani Wall Street, New York City.
The deadline for nominations is Oct. 14, 2011. The electronic nomination form and more information are available here. Contact PAVE at 954-241-4834 with questions.
