High School Design Competition

Welcome to the AIA Atlanta High School Design Competition (HSDC), presented by YKK AP America. This annual competition offers Georgia high school students a chance to delve into architectural concepts and hone skills critical for college and beyond.

HSDC caters to diverse experience levels, with both Beginner and Advanced levels. Participants craft their responses to a design prompt, leveraging their creativity and architectural knowledge.

Winners are announced during a ceremony in April. The Advanced category awards cash prizes and a scholarship for the first-place winner to attend SPIKE Studio’s Summer Academy.

The 20th Annual HSDC will launch in January 2025.
