High School Design Competition
What It's All About
Every spring, there is an all-day design competition fashioned after the Architects Learning Exam held for Santa Barbara County High School Students. This program, started in 1991, introduces high school students to the world of architecture and the design process, through the frame of a fun learning experience.
This year, the 2025 High School Architectural Design Competition will take place on Tuesday, March 4th at two different Charrette locations.
The North County Charrette will be held at Allan Hancock College in Santa Maria, North County students can sign up here.
The South County Charrette will be held at Direct Relief in Santa Barbara near Goleta, South County students can sign up here.
Twelve Finalists will be selected to present their work before a panel of three Jurors on Saturday, March 8th.
