WHAT IS 2X8?
A student competition for higher education students throughout California.
An exhibition of all submitted work.
A scholarship program that awards multiple winners.
It was formed to introduce student work to the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction industries.
To celebrate the pedagogical diversity of schools across California, 2×8 invites multiple schools across the state to participate and allows student projects to receive scholarships at the opening event.
2×8: RESILIENCE
In the fall of 2024, 2×8 COLAB awarded $14,000 in scholarships to seven projects, and we expect to award even more this year through our self-sufficient scholarship program.
As in past years, a respected jury will evaluate the submitted student projects and award prizes based on merit. The final prize values will result directly from the total of our fundraising efforts.
