FROM ONE PROFESSIONAL TO ANOTHER

Tikkurila continues its now-traditional "From One Professional to Another" contest—a space for inspiration, recognition, and creative growth for interior design professionals.

For the first time, the contest extends beyond the borders of a single country, bringing together professionals from nine countries—Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Azerbaijan, Ukraine, Moldova, Georgia, Uzbekistan, Armenia and Mongolia. This is more than just a competition: it is a dialogue of cultures, perspectives, and design traditions united by a love to color and space.

The contest will begin in 2026 and conclude in 2027 with a spectacular culmination – a trip for the winners to Finland, the birthplace of the Tikkurila brand, and a visit to Helsinki Design Week 2027.

The contest is open to projects in two categories:

• Residential Design Project
• Commercial Design Project

The main requirement is to use Tikkurila products in projects, which provide the opportunity to work with a wide professional palette suitable for any design solution.

Participants' competition projects will be evaluated by a specially appointed jury based on four criteria:

• Design Concept
  Creative thought, consistency in execution, completeness, originality, the presence of innovative elements, and the aesthetic appeal of the design project will be assessed.
• Color Combination/Choice
  The artistry in selecting color schemes is assessed.
• Eco-Concept
  The project's environmental component is assessed: the eco-friendly selection of materials, rational use of materials, and adherence to the principles of conscious consumption.
• Compliance with Competition Terms
  The participant's strict adherence to the rules and integrity are assessed.
   

The contest's main prize is a trip to Finland, a country where architecture, color, and light exist in harmony with nature.

The winners will have the unique opportunity to experience Tikkurila face-to-face by visiting the brand's factory in Vantaa. They will be able to take a behind-the-scenes look at the international brand and see how its products are created, learn about its technological standards, environmental principles, and the expertise behind each shade, and gain insight into how ideas are transformed into solutions that resonate with professionals around the world.
