Real LI

Aspiring designers willing to travel to the ends of the earth for their big break may only have to go as far as the end of Long Island.

Traditional Home magazine and the New York School of Interior Design are joining forces to provide three students with the opportunity to spend their summer internship in Montauk as design protegees working with top designers. The task: Design and decorate a luxury residence at the new Panoramic View Residences.

The challenge is referred to as "Oceans 3: Showhouse Showdown." If this sounds like a title for a reality show — it is. The television special is scheduled to air late 2008. And get this — the residences will host a variety of events this summer and fall, including a partnership with the Hamptons International Film Festival.
