During this unprecedented time, we want to spark a little joy by hosting our first ever Dining for DIFFA Design Challenge. Show off your creativity and design inspiration by creating your own dining experience at home.  Do you have a cute setup for breakfast in bed? A fun picnic on your living room floor? An inviting dining room in which to come together? Your favorite holiday setting? We want to see it all. AND there will be a fun prize for the best design!

Still piquing your interest? Check out the rules below!

Be as creative as you want! Run with a theme, a color, an inspiration – whatever sparks joy in you! Donā€™t have the tools you need to design in your home space? Show us what you cook, how you plate and where you eat. We want to know how you dine at home!

  1. Post your designed area/dinner on your Instagram feed or story and tag @diffanational with the hashtag #diningfordiffa and include the donation sticker linked to DIFFA in your story. Tag 3 or more friends and encourage them to participate as well!
  2. Be sure to follow us on Instagram to be eligible to win.

The challenge will run online from April 9-30. A jury of design professionals will vote on the best experience. The winner will be announced on/around May 1 and receive a $250 gift certificate for a future meal at home, inclusion in a press release sent nationwide, and be featured on various Instagram platforms including @DIFFANational, @DesignStandsTogether, @DesignCalendar and @NovitaPR.
