Dorm decorating is serious business at the University of Georgia. Some students aren't satisfied with until their dorm rooms look like the they could be on the cover of a magazine.

The best interiors are being collected by UGA Housing on their website dedicated to finding the 2016 Room of the Year. Any student who posts a picture of their room to Instagram tagging @UGAHousing and using #ROTY16 before 5 p.m. on Sept. 30 can enter (full rules).

The winner will be determined Oct. 17. Until then, let's take a look at some amazing efforts in student decorating.
