Fourth Annual Vectorworks Design Scholarship Opens

Global design and BIM software solutions provider Vectorworks has announced its fourth annual Vectorworks Design Scholarship.

Undergraduate students and recent graduates that share their best work will have the opportunity to win up to $10,000 USD and gain professional recognition. Submissions are now open and are due by 29 August 2019.

Vectorworks is a global design and BIM software solutions provider serving over 675,000 professionals in the architecture, landscape and entertainment industries.

“The Vectorworks Design Scholarship is an incredible opportunity for up-and-coming designers to promote their work and win funds to support their future endeavours,” said Alice Lowy, Marketing Programs Director at Vectorworks. “We look forward to seeing what these up-and-coming designers think up next.”

Winners will be revealed on October 16, 2019, following a two-round judging process. First-round winners will each receive $3,000 USD and will be entered for the chance at the grand prize Richard Diehl Award, worth an additional $7,000 USD.

Scholarship award winnings may be used as winners see fit. Additionally, winners’ schools will receive free Vectorworks Designer software and complimentary training for faculty and students.

To apply, students must submit their best individual or group project and answer three questions in 150 words or less.

Eligible students must be enrolled in an accredited design program and registered for six or more credits or must have graduated no earlier than 2017 with an acceptable design-oriented degree.

A panel of judges will evaluate submissions based on design integrity, originality, the effective use of computer technology and communication of design vision.

Vectorworks received nearly 1,000 submissions during its last scholarship run. Applications came from around the globe, including countries such as the United States, Germany, Switzerland, China, Belgium, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, India and more.

“Submit anyway, even if you think your work isn’t going to win. Be sure to write about the heart behind your project,” said Morgan Lindsay Price, a previous winner of the Vectorworks Design Scholarship, when asked what advice she’d give to prospective applicants. “I was so shocked and grateful that we won. Vectorworks gave me a huge opportunity that I never dreamed I would have had, and I’m eternally grateful.”
