Make Your Designs the Benchmark of the Industry

IIDA plays host to several high profile competitions that can bring recognition to firms, professionals, and students. Esteemed judges convene to evaluate design projects and bestow top honors to those they believe represent the evolution of the profession. Gain publicity for your firm, make your designs the benchmark of the industry, and inspire a new generation of young designers. Most competitions are open to all designers, but Members receive significant entry fee reductions.

The Cathedral of Christ the Light in Oakland, CA, designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill LLP, was named the 2009 Interior Design Competition's Best of Competition Winner at IIDA's COOL Gala during NeoCon on Sunday, June 14th, 2009.
