The Retail Design Institute (Tarrytown, N.Y.) is looking for additional sponsorship for its annual International Student Store Design Competition.

Retailers and benefactors interested in supporting this year’s challenge, which focuses on the category of convenience stores and gas stations, should contact Retail Design Institute international president Andrew McQuilkin at amcquilkin@bhdp.com.

This year's competition is sponsored by the institute’s Minneapolis/St. Paul chapter and gives college students and educators experience in creating a request for proposal. Students are required to present their idea in three phases, including programming, schematic design and design. The deadline is April 12, 2010.
