First YORI Fan Art Contest drew over 500 entries nationwide!

It has been over a year since YORI was introduced to the market. The brand has definitely slid in as a part of every starter’s  home. Their DIY furniture is smart, easy, yet rewarding to own. From product design down to customer service, the dedicated team behind YORI designed the whole brand experience for the customers. 

YORI has proven that DIY (do-it-yourself) projects don’t have to be complicated to be rewarding.

So, to celebrate their love for design and their followers, YORI opened a fan art contest that ran
from April 20, 2021 to May 15, 2021. Despite being a new brand, YORI received over 500 entries
from different artists nationwide. 

The overwhelming response from the participants made the competition stiff and the selection of winners challenging. Many artworks were exceptionally good, but only three emerged as winners.
The announcement of the YORI Fan Art Contest was posted on YORI’s official Facebook page
on May 18, 2021, 5PM.

Here are the selected winners for the YORI fan art contest:

Nathaniel Surbano Refermoso – Grand Prize

Xander Agcopra - Consolation Prize

Mary Kay M. Daguro - Consolation Prize

Bernadette Anne M. Miguel's Fan Art

The team would also like to recognize these young talents: Bernadette Anne M. Miguel and Nicole
Kates A. Samonte for their exceptional artworks:

Grand prizes include Jobu Table and Kaoku Loveseat, meanwhile, two runners-up brought home Sagyo Mini Desk.

YORI is also excited to announce that there will be a bigger fan art contest that everyone needs to  watch out for soon.
