Submitting your work

For the TxA Middle & High School Student Design Challenge, applicants should carefully review the annual prompt and submission requirements on the TxA website. Projects are typically evaluated on creativity, clarity of concept, and thoughtful response to the challenge theme. Students are encouraged to develop a strong design narrative and present their work clearly, often through drawings, models, and written statements. Teachers and mentors can provide guidance, but the work should be the student's own. Deadlines are firm, and submissions must adhere to specified formats. For other TxA programs, such as design awards, professionals should ensure their entries meet the criteria for category, originality, and impact, and submit complete materials by the posted deadlines.
