Contract and Residential Awards – Portfolio, Platinum, Gold, Silver, Bronze, and Impact of Design
A maximum of three winners will be selected in each of the following categories (see list below). The Gold Award will be presented to the project placing first, followed by Silver for second and Bronze for third. While we do strive to award student designers for their recent work, it is not always possible to award projects at each level in all categories should they not be worthy of merit. Only one award may be presented at each level in each category – no ties will be allowed.
Award Categories & Scholarship Amount:
NEW! Portfolio
