The ten designers were brought to Cubao Expo, a section in Araneta Center in Quezon City's Cubao district formerly lined with shoe stores and now housed with art galleries and vintage stores. They were given digital cameras and tasked to take photos within the area for 2½ hours. They then select one image which serves as an inspiration for their next design. The winner received a Canon Ixus digital camera, but was not given immunity for the next challenge.
