Send Us a Drawing. Tell Us a Story. Win $2,500.
Thanks to social media, more people than ever now consume architecture every day through their feeds. However, their attention is fleeting — with millions of architectural ideas flowing across the web, each designer has just a brief moment to make an impact. This means one image or drawing needs to possess the power to tell a whole story on its own, in seconds. For any designer, producing a viral drawing might just kickstart their career.
So, the One Drawing Challenge is laid down: Can you create a single drawing that tells the story behind a complex piece of architecture? The prizes are as follows:
- $2,500 for one top student winner
- $2,500 for one top non-student winner
- 100 Shortlisted entries to feature in the first “One Drawing” eBook, to be distributed to architecture firms via newsletter and social media channels.
Details of entry requirements will be revealed soon!
Call for Entries Begins: Monday, June 10th, 2019
