Type: Competitions / Awards
Location(s): International
Description:
In honor of SketchUp’s 25th anniversary, the company is inviting the architectural community to participate in the ‘Design Sprint Challenge,’ which is a competition to look forward 25 years and design spaces — interior, exterior, or landscape – that positively address the needs of the future — whether that's bettering the environment, improving the local community, or enabling accessibility.
Participants only have 500 square feet to work with, they must use at least one SketchUp visualization feature (Ambient Occlusion, Diffusion, Photoreal Materials, Environments, and/or Live Components), and they must create the design in SketchUp in 60 minutes or less. The challenge starts on Monday, April 28, and ends on Wednesday, June 11.
The first place winner will receive $5,000, a one-year SketchUp Studio subscription and promotion of their designs to the SketchUp audience. More details on how to enter are available via this website - https://designers.sketchup.com/#design-sprint-challenge
