What is Design Drafting?

The Design Drafting Competition is a contest designed to expose High School and College Undergraduate students to design drawing and the construction industry. The contest provides recognition to students for creative design, successful problem solving and craftsmanship in preparing architectural drawings. Entries are evaluated for detail, accuracy and originality of work. Objectives of the contest are to introduce the student to the construction industry in a positive and challenging manner, while fostering a sense of self-worth and building confidence. Mentoring programs between students and educators are also encouraged.

The competition provides recognition to students for creative design, successful problem solving and craftsmanship in preparing architectural drawings and renderings. 

The drawings may be created utilizing any computer aided design (CAD) program available to the contestants, drawn by hand or may consist of a combination of computer aided and hand drawn drawings.


There are two (2) divisions
  • High School          Grades 9th – 12th
  • College                  Freshman – First year Seniors
