Place by Design is a pitch competition set up to showcase public design transformations that are innovating and invigorating public spaces. Urbanist, artists, architects, and designers gather each year during SXSW to present their scalable solutions for improving our shared landscape.

Apply to Place by Design before the final deadline before November 22. When considering submitting a project for consideration, remember that works need to be actualized, be designed in the last five years, and be creative. Learn more about eligibility requirements before submitting.
