Call for Entries for the 2008 NCARB Prize

The National Council of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB) is now accepting entries for the 2008 NCARB Prize for Creative Integration of Practice and Education in the Academy. Now in its seventh year, the NCARB Prize supports combined practice and education initiatives at the university level. Architecture schools with NAAB-accredited degree programs are invited to submit established projects, completed or in progress by the end of the fall 2007 term, that respond to the integration of education with practice. Six cash awards, totaling more than $60,000, will be presented. The six winning programs will be selected prior to the ACSA Annual Meeting in March 2008. Visit the NCARB Web site to download an entry packet. Submissions are due by February 5, 2008. (Pictured, the University of Virginia won the 2007 $25,000 Grand Prize for its “ecoMOD” prototypes of modular, sustainable housing.)
