As an important part of the Education and Outreach Programs, DVGBC conducts an annual design competition to engage regional colleges and universities in the process of sustainable design. The goal is an interactive design competition that will expose participants to sustainable design strategies, USGBC LEED criteria and an integrated design process. The competition aims to encourage the partnership of colleges, universities, design and engineering professionals, and community members in an applied learning experience. It is also targeted toward integration with the Spring college and university curriculum.
In response to many inquiries, eligibility requirements for those registering as young professionals have been revised to include those that have graduated in the spring of 2007 or later.(undergraduate and graduate programs do apply).
