In tandem with our 2024 festival theme, Tracing the Future, we invite you to cast a visionary gaze towards what lies ahead. Create a design for a postcard that is representative of the New York City you envision. Perhaps you imagine a focus on sensorial living or biophilic workspaces, or maybe you have an idea around accessible design or mass timber—whatever it is, we want to see!

Three winning designs will be selected by the jury and announced in late September. Postcards will be printed and distributed at the Center for Architecture throughout the month of October 2024. All are invited to submit—architects, illustrators, design enthusiasts, etc. Authors must be 18 years or older and reside in the five boroughs.

Award: $500 cash prize. For more details, see the link below.

Submit your design by  September 3, 5pm ET.
