About these competitions

Since 1983, American School & University magazine has hosted the premier competitions for education design projects.

School administrators and others interested in educational facilities look to the August Educational Interiors Showcase issue and the fall Architectural Portfolio as guides to award-winning ideas and innovations for America’s schools and universities.

Honored projects are published in these annual design issues and also appear on SchoolDesigns.com in the “Find a Project” database of designs.
