Storr’s Make a Positive IMPACT | Learning Edition contest is open to public, private, charter and magnet schools serving students in grades K– 12 (with enrollment over 125 students total) in North Carolina.
Applicants submitting to this contest must have approval of building administration before submitting an entry.
Storr reserves the right to tour the winning classroom a minimum of 1-2 times a month for 1 year. Tours will be scheduled at least 1 week ahead, and time will be agreed upon by both parties.
Each classroom may submit only one entry. Schools can submit multiple entries.
To ensure a thoughtful and balanced review process, submissions will be evaluated by a panel consisting of one representative from each participating manufacturing partner and one representative from each Storr location. This approach provides diverse perspectives and equitable representation across all partners involved in the program. Decisions made by the selection committee will be final.
Scoring criteria will be based on the following – Educational Impact (25), Vison & Purpose (20), (Demonstrated Need (20), Student Voice & Engagement (15), community & Program Reach (10), and Clarity & Completeness of Submission (10).
In the event of a tie, the school with the highest Educational Impact score will be selected. If a tie remains, the highest Demonstrated Need score will determine the winner.
The winning school will be given the opportunity to meet with the Storr and Sponsor teams to select final products and colors during a design session at Storr Office Environments in Raleigh, NC. If the teacher is unable to meet, our team will make selections based upon our best knowledge of the classroom and school in which the furniture will reside.
Winners of the grand prize and consolation prizes consent to having their name, image, school name and location used in Storr and program sponsors promotional materials in accordance with current North Carolina data protection legislation.
Rights to all the contest entry materials, award and reveal videos and photos will become the property of Storr. If students are shown in your submittal materials, please ensure that there is school/parental approval to share their image.
Disposition or storage of existing furniture at the awarded school will be the responsibility of the school. Storr’s disposition/storage services can be provided for a fee.
Names, addresses, email addresses, phone numbers or other personal information of contest entrants will not be shared with organizations outside of Storr.
