The ULI Hines Student Competition—entering its 23rd year in 2025—offers graduate (or fourth-year undergraduate) students the opportunity to form their own multidisciplinary teams and engage in a challenging exercise in responsible land use. Teams of five students pursuing degrees in at least two different disciplines have two weeks to devise a development program for a real, large-scale site in a North American city. Teams provide graphic boards and narratives of their proposals, including designs and market-feasible financial data.
This is an ideas competition; there is no expectation that anyone will apply the submitted schemes to the site. All participating finalist students typically attend the all-expenses-paid final presentation in the host city, where the jury selects the winning project.
The competition is part of the Institute’s ongoing effort to raise interest among young people in creating better communities, improving development patterns, and increasing awareness of the need for multidisciplinary solutions to development and design challenges.
Registration for the 2025 ULI Hines Competition is open and will close on November 20, 2024.
This year’s Competition will take place in Cleveland, Ohio!
