  • SketchUp Design Sprint Challenge 2025

    We invite you and your students to test your design creativity with the SketchUp Design Sprint Challenge 2025

    To celebrate the 25th anniversary of SketchUp, we're inviting you to look forward 25 years and imagine the role design will play in improving our lives.

    We want participants from all areas of design and architecture to envision the year 2050 and design spaces (interior, exterior, or landscape) that have a positive social impact to address the needs of the future—whether that's bettering the environment, improving the local community, or enabling accessibility.

    The first-place winner will receive $5,000 USD, a free one-year Studio subscription, and global promotion of their design.

    Submissions are due by June 11th.
