Student Competition

Tulane School of Architecture is hosting its thirdannual Summer Design Competition through Instagram, starting June 14, 2023. The TuSA Summer Design Competition will cover six categories of representation styles, design, making and art. Six juries of school faculty and staff will vote each week for the top five winners, and prizes will be awarded. New this year, winners will also have their submissions published in the next issue of The ReView book, published by Actar Publishers.

Third annual student competition

The competition is open to all incoming, current, and newly graduated students (Class of 2023). This includes students who are minoring in programs at the school and who have taken courses via programs run by the school within the past academic year.

To submit an entry, students must post their single image/animation/photo entry on their Instagram account, indicate the competition category they are entering, and tag @tulanearch and #TulaneDesignCompetition. The entry post must be made during the week of the designated competition category. The competition is limited to one entry per student, per category. The entry must be work created by the student and cannot be previously submitted to the competition. The submission could be new work or previous work produced in the last year or more. Finalists will be asked (via private message on Instagram) to verify their student status by providing their full name, Tulane ID number, and Tulane email address.

The first place winners of each category will receive a $100 prize. The four additional finalists of each category will receive $50 prizes. Prizes will be given in the form of direct payments to current students and honoraria to newly graduated students.

The faculty jurors include: Andrea Bardon de Tena, José Cotto, Michael Dalle Molle, Rubén García Rubio, Nick Jenisch, Charles Jones, Irene Keil, Nick LiCausi, Andrew Liles, Tiffany Lin, Juan Medina Revilla, Carol Reese, Cordula Roser Gray, Emilie Taylor Welty, Bruce White, Ann Yoachim.
