MASK UP & SUPPORT
STUDENT DESIGN!

DESIGN CHALLENGE & FUNDRAISER
In early January, we launched our first design challenge for students, educators, and industry professionals- The PAVE Mask On Face-Off.
​
We challenged our creative community to design 100% original masks that inspire and communicate important messages for 2021 and beyond.
​
The results were fantastic! We received a total of 78 beautifully designed masks from across the United States, Canada, and even Indonesia! Entrants utilized several mediums to express themselves through their designs, including digital graphics, hand sketching/drawing, photography, collage, and even watercolor.
​
This unique challenge required an equally unique voting process. The two-week open voting window began on Thursday, February 25th with over 1,000 votes cast on the first day, and over 6,800 votes total over the two-week span!
​
We would like to congratulate Ray Wu, a Product Design student from Parsons School of Design for winning the Student Category with his "Save the Planet" mask and we would also like to congratulate Patricia Dueck, a Professor from Scottsdale Community College for winning the Pro Category with her "Colors of the Wind" mask.
​
Both masks moved on to the production phase and were printed in full color on high-quality, reusable face masks by our friends at McRae Imaging.
The winning student designer will receive $1 per "Save the Planet" mask sold up to $2,000. And the winning pro designer will receive $1 per "Colors of the Wind" mask sold for their school/program (also up to $2,000). All remaining proceeds will support PAVE's Student Aid and Educational Programs for 2021 and beyond.
