It’s Vegas time for two Lakeland College grads after their interior designs got the judges’ nod from the National Kitchen and Bath Association.
Interior design technology (IDT) graduates Meghan King and Mamie Granger will travel to an international design show in Las Vegas as part of their prize for placing in the National Kitchen and Bath Association’s (NKBA) student design competition.
“There’s no one else I’d rather go to Vegas with than Meghan,” says Granger, who placed third in the NKBA’s bathroom category.
The prize is part of the package both Granger and King received for placing in the competition. It will be presented at the Kitchen and Bath Industry Show (KBIS) in Las Vegas in February 2025. It comprises:
- A $1,000 scholarship and a trophy presented at KBIS 2025
- Roundtrip airfare and hotel accommodations near the Las Vegas Convention Center from Feb. 24-27, 2025
- Admission for themselves and a guest to the Design & Industry Awards at KBIS 2025
- A KBIS expo pass with access to the Voices from the Industry conference
- Tickets to the exclusive 21+ BASH event during KBIS
- Recognition at the KBIS student/educator event
- Feature of the winning designs in an NKBA|KBIS magazine
“It’s really surprising to place in the competition,” says King, who placed third in the kitchen category. “You always hope you win, but it’s never a guarantee that you’ll even be in the top 100. To place third overall of 250 entries is so inspiring. I am very excited to go to Vegas and see what else is going on in the design industry.”
Over the summer, the IDT program was recognized by the NKBA for Excellence in Education for the ninth time.
