IIDA WI Chapter Student Design Competition

The Wisconsin Chapter of IIDA offers several opportunities to be awarded scholarships throughout the year.  One is our student design competition, which is awarded at the Celebrate in Design event held in the spring. This program is open to any IIDA Wisconsin student member. Those who aren’t yet members may become eligible by joining IIDA through the online application process; follow this link to apply.  Once your application is in process, please return here to enter your project.

Judging Criteria

Submissions will be judged for the appropriateness of the design solution and the successful integration of the elements of design. Winners are determined by a jury of design professionals. A first place and an award of excellence will be given in each category, given the projects meet all criteria and the jury feels they are of appropriate design and caliber for an award.

Evaluation Criteria

• Use, creation and integration of design
• Unique use of materials, colors, lighting and furnishings
