AWARDS

Winning concepts will be awarded up to $2,000 and be exhibited at the Design Exchange in 2019.

Winning entries will demonstrate the application of the universal design principles in projects that consider accessibility as central to the design process.
One overall winner will receive $2000; three first place entries will receive $1500; three second place entries will receive $1000; and three third place entries $500 respectively. All winners will be featured in an exhibition at Design Exchange, as well as being invited to attend a one-day mentorship program where they will learn from leaders in accessibility and design.
Design Exchange will work with the winner and accessibility advocates/educators to develop a hands-on workshop that draws from the winning submission and will be implemented into the 2019-20 Tours & Workshop program. This program is offered to elementary, high school, and postsecondary students, as well as to adult groups.
