The ASID Student Portfolio Competition (SPC) generates the best collection of student design projects in the nation. Submissions are evaluated on conceptual thought, content of work submitted, the student’s record of achievement, and overall execution. Make your mark on the interior design industry by submitting to the SPC today! 

Judging includes two rounds of online reviews, and one round of finalist interviews, to take place virtually in April 2026.

In addition to national recognition, each of the three competition winners will receive a $6,000 scholarship to support their educational and professional goals and an invitation to attend GATHER: Catalyst 2026 in Dallas, TX with complimentary registration and a travel stipend. These scholarships and travel stipends are generously supported by the ASID Foundation and the Polsky Family Supporting Foundation (PFSF) Endowment.
