The IIDA Student Design Competition celebrates the talent and fresh design ideas of interior design students throughout the world who are currently enrolled in an interior design program or institution. The competition provides emerging professionals the opportunity to showcase their work and gain exposure in the interior design industry.

This 2020 edition invites you to design several critical areas within a new Digestive Health Clinic. The space plan should include all program requirements such as waiting areas, exam rooms, offices, and an infusion therapy suite. The design should facilitate increased efficiency for physicians and create a seamless patient experience through thoughtful use of architecture, interior design and space planning strategies.

School projects already completed may be reinterpreted and/or edited to meet the requirements of this competition. If the school project was completed as a group, all members must agree in writing to enter the reinterpreted and/or edited project, and all members must be listed as participants on the entry form.

Participants can enter individually or as a team (maximum 5 people).
