- Follow @Boston on Instagram.
- Snap a photo of your beautifully decorated dorm room.
- Post your photo on Instagram between 7:30 a.m. ET on Friday, Aug. 30, 2019, and 11:59:59 p.m. ET on Friday, Sept. 27, 2019.

- The handle @Boston tagged in your photo.
- The hashtag #BostonDormContest.
- A mention of your college (you can tag your school’s official Instagram account or use your school’s location tag).
Judging Criteria
Your dorm room will be judged based on three key criteria:
- Use of Dorm Room Space: How well have you utilized the limited space available?
- Creativity of Dorm Room Decor: Are your decor choices unique and eye-catching?
- Innovation of Dorm Room Decor: Have you incorporated any clever or original ideas into your design?
Need Inspiration?
If you’re feeling a bit stuck, don’t worry! There are plenty of past winners to draw inspiration from. For instance, Ciara Kamahele, the 2014 winner, transformed her MIT dorm with a stunning mural of sea creatures and a black light that made it glow. Imagine the creativity you can unleash!
The Competition
With over 138,000 undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in Boston-area colleges and universities last year, the competition will be fierce. But don’t let that intimidate you! This is your chance to showcase your style and creativity while connecting with fellow students who share your passion for design.
Get Decorating!
So, what are you waiting for? Grab your paintbrushes, fairy lights, and any other decor items you can find, and start transforming your dorm into a space that reflects your personality. Whether you prefer a minimalist aesthetic or a vibrant, eclectic vibe, the key is to make it your own.
Happy decorating, and may the best dorm decorator win!
