design competitions
Juried aesthetic challenges
Design competitions are contests where architects, designers, or creative professionals submit proposals for a project, with winners selected by judges or public vote.
They range from open international competitions for major public buildings to smaller competitions for logos or products.
Competitions may award prizes, commissions, or simply recognition: She won the design competition for the new museum.
Critics note that competitions generate enormous unpaid labor from losing entrants.
