Curtains reimagined as art: a design competition

‘Curtain as Art’ is the theme of the Two Pages x Design Contest 2026. Enter now.

Established in 2025, the Twopages X Design Contest 2026 has transformed the humble curtain into a global platform for creative collaboration. Bridging the gap between design, craftsmanship and real-world production, the initiative gives emerging and established creatives alike the opportunity to see their ideas evolve from concept into commercially realised collections.

Returning for 2026 – with entries open until the end of June, and a first prize of $10,000 – the annual competition invites entrants to rethink window treatments through this year’s theme, ‘Curtain as Art’. Divided into the categories of canvas, architecture and emotion, the brief encourages participants to explore how curtains can shape atmosphere, express identity and function as objects of design in their own right.

Last year’s finalists demonstrated the breadth of creative approaches possible within the medium. Among the top six were Sabrina Ramkhelawan and Rebecca Hughes, whose collections were later developed into co-design product collaborations with Twopages. Ramkhelawan’s work explored the tenderness of everyday life through hand-painted forms, while Hughes created a collection shaped by motherhood, faith and intentional living, incorporating hand-embroidered textiles, folk-art traditions and block printing.

Alongside the resulting collections, the 2025 showcase highlighted the sense of community fostered by the competition, positioning the initiative not simply as a design challenge, but as a collaborative platform connecting creatives with production expertise and a global audience.

The 2026 winners will be announced at an event in mid-September, where a new wave of designers will demonstrate how the curtain can move beyond functionality into the realm of art and interior expression.
