Baldwin Hardware, a brand of the Hardware & Home Improvement (HHI) division of Spectrum Brands Holdings (NYSE:SPB), announced a design competition in which designers can submit designs to create the company’s 70^th Anniversary Commemorative Knob. 

The competition, titled the Baldwin “70 Years Bold” Design Competition, is one of many activities Baldwin is launching to celebrate its upcoming 70^th Anniversary. The winning design will be produced by Baldwin’s ID team and unveiled as Baldwin’s 70^th Anniversary Commemorative Knob in Las Vegas in January 2016. The winner will receive $10,000 in Baldwin product and two trips: one to Las Vegas to unveil the knob and one to Beverly Hills to attend Baldwin’s 70^th Anniversary Gala.

“Baldwin is embarking upon a signature year as we celebrate our 70^th anniversary,” said PJ Rosch, brand manager of Baldwin Hardware. “We have many exciting initiatives taking place throughout the year, and this design competition kicks it off in style. The community of architects and designers with whom we work inspires us every day. We are excited to see their ideas for our 70^th Anniversary Commemorative Knob come to life.”

Through October 30, 2015, interested designers and architects can enter the competition by uploading their design to www.baldwinhardware.com/design-competition. One winner and three honorable mentions will be selected based on creativity, quality of design submission, originality and the story behind the design.
