It’s here!  The opening of the 4th Annual Synergis Student Architecture Design Competition!  This year we are giving you a site in Philadelphia, PA and you are to build an Arts Center for all types of activities including acting, jewelry making, sculpture, painting and more.

Why do students participate?

• Cash prizes ($1,000 for first place and $500 for second).
• It starts or extends your design portfolio for colleges and employers.
• Networking with future employers at Synergis University.
• It’s more fun than a regular independent study project.
• You get to show off your Revit skills and creativity.
• It is a great way to learn and apply knowledge of real world industry like sustainability, BIM and designing spaces specifically for their intended purpose.

And this year, we are offering the competition nationally! 

Any k-12 student in the US may enter!  The competition will be greater and we know it’s going to be difficult to select the top 3 to post to Facebook for voting.  Share this with your friends and social media connections all around the US to enter.

Because we expect more entries than ever before, we are requiring Revit files to check the technical end of the design.  Competition will be tough, so the sooner you get started the better.  Also, register as soon as possible so that you will get updates from the competition coordinator.  We will answer questions we get about the competition and send you any additional resources that may be helpful that we find along the way.
Registration opens today!
