A note from the Design Awards Committee:
We invite students and professionals to register their intent to participate in the 16th SARA PA Design Awards. As the Covid-19 pandemic continues to be a concern for in-person gatherings, the Design Awards Committee has decided to forgo the awards reception for this year and will announce the awarded projects on sarapa.org, utilizing the gallery format we established for the previous design awards. We appreciate your interest.
