A flooring company in the US has announced the details of a new design competition where entrants can win the chance to create a new kind of flooring.
The tx:style design challenge is open to amateur designers and the winner's creation "could be the next full flooring product collection from Mannington Commercial".
Each of the entered designs will be displayed online where people can vote for them and the top five competitors will win a trip to the flooring company's headquarters to learn about turning their designs into samples.
The overall winner will receive $7,500 (£4,646) in prize money and "a chance to be on next year's front-page news and, of course, the [title for the] first line on [their] resume".
Mannington Commercial produces carpet as well as engineered wooden flooring, rubber tiles and products from other materials.
It also provides a carpet reclamation service where the flooring material is recycled instead of thrown away.
