Schooldesigner.com is proud to announce our very first annual design collabetition! We like to refer to this event as a "Collab-etition" - a cross between "collaboration" and "competition." Our ultimate goal is to elevate the overall quality of school design around the world and I am excited that this competition will help us reach that goal. We look forward to seeing your submissions!
Let the contest begin!
