The woman and creative force behind Rosanna tableware, Rosanna Bowles, is serious about a well-set table and every year for the last eight she’s held a Tablescape contest to inspire other domestically inclined style savants to set a stunning new bar (or table as the case may be).

This year, entrants are asked to create a dessert-themed table for any occasion with treats and sweets displayed in a creative, interesting way (real food not required). The first place winner receives a $500 Rosanna gift certificate, second place, a $200 Rosanna gift certificate and third place, a $100 gift certificate. Rosanna products are encouraged but not mandatory and the deadline to enter is August 31. Click over here for more details.

Good luck!
