AIA Ohio Foundation/AIA Ohio Student DESIGN AWARDS PROGRAM

The AIA Ohio Foundation/AIA Ohio Student Design Awards program focuses on high quality, innovative design responses. This program allows students to submit any school project they have worked on during the past academic year, including projects completed outside of the classroom setting (e.g. competitions). Students may even elect to re-address projects previously submitted as part of course work and improve their original design solution. The AIA Ohio Foundation/AIA Ohio Student Design Awards provides all students with the opportunity to submit their best and most innovative work.
